Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Melanie Gray's claim against Luddenham School. On 14 February 2026, it wrote to Gray warning that it was considering striking out the claim under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 because the claim appeared not to have been actively pursued.
The letter gave Gray an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing. She did not reply. Employment Judge Andrews therefore struck out the claim on 20 July 2026. The judgment records no monetary award.

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.
