Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

By letter dated 17 January 2019, the Tribunal gave Mr Robinson an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why the claims in case numbers 2413492/2018 and 2414547/2018 should not be struck out. The Tribunal said those claims had not complied with the order for exchange of witness statements and had not been actively pursued. Mr Robinson did not make written representations, did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing, so those claims were struck out.

The employer's contract claim in case number 2416232/2018 had been allowed by amendment at a hearing on 12 September 2018 before Regional Employment Judge Parkin, and the written case management order was sent on 24 September 2018. Employment Judge Ross reminded Mr Robinson on 12 November 2018 that a response to that claim was awaited, but no response was received. The Tribunal therefore treated the matter as an undefended claim under rule 21 and gave judgment for Mettler Toledo Safeline Limited.

The Tribunal ordered Mr Robinson to pay Mettler Toledo Safeline Limited £4,987.29. The hearing fixed for 7 February 2019 did not take place. The extracted text also contains an interest notice stating that interest would be payable under the Employment Tribunals (Interest) Order 1990 if the sum was not paid within 14 days, at 8% per annum from 5 February 2019, but no interest amount was calculated in the judgment text provided.

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.
