Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that, after a preliminary hearing on 23 June 2022, the claimant had been ordered to pay a £300 deposit in respect of his complaint of harassment for having red hair amounting to race discrimination. The Deposit Order was sent to the claimant on 29 June 2022.
The claimant did not pay the deposit. The tribunal therefore struck out that complaint under rule 39(4) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The judgment states that the claimant's remaining claim or claims were unaffected and would proceed to a final hearing.

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.
