Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy a letter dated 17 June 2020, the Tribunal gave Mr NJ Povall an opportunity to make written representations or request a hearing as to why his claim should not be struck out for not having been actively pursued. The claimant did not make representations, or did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing.
The Tribunal therefore struck out the claim under rule 37. The judgment is a short strike-out decision and does not set out any substantive findings on the merits of the underlying dispute, any liability issue, or any remedy.
The judgment was signed by Employment Judge Batten on 16 July 2020 and sent to the parties on 17 July 2020.

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.
