Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal struck out allegations numbered 2, 3, 5, 7, 9 and 11 from Judge Allen's case management order of 29 August 2024. The strike out followed the claimant's failure to pay a deposit of £250 for each of those allegations after a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Tobin.

The judgment records that the strike out was made under rule 40(4) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. It also states that the claimant's other allegations were not affected and would proceed to a 10-day final hearing starting on 5 April 2027.

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. See full methodology.
