Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal had written to the claimants on 30 October 2025 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, but they did not reply. Employment Judge M Butler was satisfied that the Rule 38 grounds applied and that striking out the claims would accord 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.
