Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal wrote to Ms B Allcock on 30 October 2025 warning that it was considering striking out the claim under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 because the claim appeared not to have been actively pursued. The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out, or to request a hearing, but did not reply.
Employment Judge M Butler was satisfied that the Rule 38 grounds applied and that striking out the claim was consistent with the overriding objective in Rule 3. The judgment therefore struck out the claim. The judgment was approved on 28 November 2025 and sent to the parties on 3 December 2025, and it records no substantive merits determination or 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.
