Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

By letter sent on 12 August 2019, the tribunal gave Mr Gaskell an opportunity to make written representations by 16 August 2019 explaining why the claims should not be struck out. The tribunal said the claims appeared to duplicate claims already presented in case no. 2300225/2019 and were therefore capable of amounting to an abuse of process.

Mr Gaskell did not make representations by the deadline or at all. The tribunal therefore struck out the claims under rule 37(1)(a) of the 2013 Rules of Procedure. The judgment records that the remaining claims in case no. 2300225/2019 were unaffected by this decision and it makes no award of remedy.

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.
