Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Andrews struck out Sharon Lawton's claim against Sir Roger Manwood's School on 29 April 2026. Applying Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, the Tribunal had considered that the claim appeared not to have been actively pursued.
The Tribunal wrote to Lawton on 14 February 2026 warning of the proposed strike-out. The letter offered her an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing. She did not reply, and the Tribunal therefore struck out the claim. The judgment does not identify the underlying claim type or record any 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.
