Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing in public at Manchester on 13 May 2024 before Employment Judge Leach. The claimant, Mr J Walker, did not attend. The respondent, Wood Transmission & Distribution Limited, was represented by counsel, Mr Gordon.
The tribunal struck out the claim under Employment Tribunal Rule 37(1). The judgment states three bases for strike out: the manner in which the proceedings had been conducted was scandalous, unreasonable or vexatious; the claimant had not complied with the Tribunal Rules or a Tribunal Order; and the claim had not been actively pursued.
The written record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days. No merits findings or remedy were recorded, and no monetary award was made.

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.
