Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy a letter dated 4 March 2024, the tribunal gave the respondent an opportunity to make representations, or request a hearing, on why its response should not be struck out for non-compliance with case management orders made on 14 December 2024 and because the response had not been actively pursued. The respondent did not make written representations, or did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing.
Employment Judge Batten therefore struck out the response. The judgment records that the consequence of that order was procedural only: the claim itself was not finally determined in this judgment.
The tribunal directed that the claim would now be listed for a final hearing, and that a separate notice would follow. No substantive liability findings or monetary award were made in 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.
