Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal recorded that it wrote to the claimant on 6 January 2026 warning that it was considering striking out the claim because, applying Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, the claim appeared not to have been actively pursued. The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out, or to request a hearing.
The claimant did not reply. On that basis, Employment Judge Andrews ordered that the claim be struck out on 14 March 2026. No liability findings, remedy findings, or substantive issues were determined in the judgment.

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.
