Mr D Newbury

Respondent

Wayne Howard

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

By a case management order sent on 11 December 2020, following a hearing the claimant failed to attend, the Tribunal gave Mr D Newbury an opportunity to provide further information about his complaints of age discrimination and unfair dismissal. He was warned that if he did not do so his claim would be struck out.

The claimant made no contact with the Tribunal, either to provide the requested information or to ask for more time. The Tribunal found that the claim had not been actively pursued and struck it out. The hearing fixed for 15 January 2021 was cancelled.

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.
