Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal recorded that by letters dated 25 May 2021 and 4 April 2022 it had warned Miss Helen Rolle that it was considering striking out the claim because it was not being actively pursued. The reason given was that she had failed to respond to the tribunal’s letter of 5 January 2021 and had not otherwise taken steps to progress the case.

The tribunal found that Miss Rolle did not make written representations explaining why the claim should not be struck out and did not request a hearing, despite having a reasonable opportunity to do so. The letter of 4 April 2022 invited a response by 18 April 2022, but no response had been received nearly three months after that deadline.

On that basis, and noting that there was no evidence on the file of any active steps taken in pursuit of the claim since it was presented in November 2020, the tribunal struck out the claim under Rule 37(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure. No substantive findings on liability or remedy were recorded.

How we got this data

Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
