Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

By a letter dated 6 May 2021, the tribunal gave Mr D Grayson an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out for lack of active pursuit, or to request a hearing. The claimant did not make written representations, did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing.

The tribunal therefore struck out the claim. The judgment does not record any liability findings, any remedy award, or any split between individual causes of action.

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.
