Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal wrote to the claimants on 24 February 2026 warning that it was considering striking out the claims because it appeared, applying Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, that the claims had not been actively pursued.
The claimants were given an opportunity to explain why the claims should not be struck out or to request a hearing. They did not reply, and Employment Judge M Butler was satisfied that the grounds for strike out applied and that strike out was in accordance with the overriding objective in Rule 3.

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.
