Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal recorded that the claims were for disability discrimination and unfair dismissal. Both claims were struck out.

The reason given was that the claimant had been ordered to pay a deposit of £100 following a preliminary hearing on 21 May 2025, and the order was sent on 27 May 2025. The claimant failed to pay the deposit, so the complaints were struck out under rule 40(4) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. The hearing listed for 3 and 4 December 2025 was vacated.

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.
