Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant had withdrawn her original claim by email on 7 February 2025. A Legal Officer issued a judgment on 6 March 2025 dismissing the claim on withdrawal, and that judgment explained that any application under Rule 7 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2024 to have the decision considered afresh by a judge had to be made within 14 days.
The claimant later sought to have the claim reopened, referring to her health and detention under section 136. Employment Judge Butler treated the matter as an application under Rule 7(2), with any extension of time considered under Rule 5, and considered the documents and timeline provided.
The tribunal accepted that the evidence supported an extension until 4pm on 28 March 2025, but found that it did not support extending time to 31 March 2025. The application was therefore out of time and refused, leaving the Legal Officer's judgment dismissing the claim on withdrawal in place.

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.
