Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant had been ordered to pay a deposit of £50.00 following a preliminary hearing held on 28 November 2019. The order was sent to the claimant on 19 December 2019.
The tribunal recorded that the claimant failed to pay the deposit. The claim was therefore struck out under rule 39(4) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013, and the hearing listed for 30 March 2020 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.
