Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr M Wendler, brought a complaint of unfair dismissal against TJ Morris Ltd. Following a preliminary hearing on 9 March 2020, the tribunal ordered the claimant to pay a deposit of £500, and the order was sent on 3 April 2020 with payment required by 24 April 2020.
On 13 April 2020, the claimant told the tribunal that he had lost his job and could not pay the deposit. The tribunal wrote back asking for proof of job loss and income so that the judge could consider varying the deposit order, and asked for that information by 28 May 2020. The claimant did not respond to that correspondence.
Because the deposit was not paid, the tribunal struck out the complaint of unfair dismissal under rule 39(4) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The judgment records no substantive determination of the merits of the dismissal claim and no monetary award.

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.
