Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis decision concerned two preliminary strike-out applications rather than the substantive employment claims. The claimant applied for the response to be struck out under Employment Tribunal Rule 37(1)(c), contending that the respondent had not complied with the Tribunal Rules or a Tribunal order. The respondent applied for the claim to be struck out under Rule 37(1)(b), contending that the proceedings had been conducted in a scandalous, unreasonable or vexatious manner.
Employment Judge Childe heard the matter by CVP at Manchester on 7 October 2024. Both applications were dismissed. The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in accordance with the note on the decision.
The judgment does not record any determination of liability on the underlying employment claims and does not award any remedy. It records only that the two strike-out applications failed, leaving the substantive proceedings unresolved by this decision.

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.
