Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy a letter dated 1 April 2021, the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to make written representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out. The stated reasons were that the claimant had not complied with Order 1.1 made at the preliminary hearing on 17 January 2021, which had been sent to the parties on 13 February 2021, and that the claim had not been actively pursued.
The claimant did not make written representations, did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. Employment Judge Slater therefore struck out the claim on 21 April 2021. The hearing fixed for 20 May 2021 did not take place. No remedy was recorded because the claim was struck out.

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.
