Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Andrews struck out the claim on 24 March 2026. The Tribunal had written to D Bhaker on 8 November 2025 warning that it was considering strike out because the claim appeared not to have been actively pursued under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024.
The letter gave the claimant an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing, but the claimant did not reply. The Tribunal therefore struck out the claim. No substantive merits findings 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.
