Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy a letter dated 13 August 2024, the tribunal told Mrs J Sowerbutts that the claim might be struck out because she had not complied with the Tribunal's order dated 5 June 2024 and because the claim had not been actively pursued. She was given the chance to make written representations or request a hearing on why strike-out should not follow.
The claimant did not make representations in writing, did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. The Employment Judge therefore struck out the claim. The judgment records no determination of the merits of any underlying complaint and no remedy was awarded.

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.
