Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal did not determine the merits of the underlying claim. Instead, by letter dated 20 April 2021 it gave the claimant an opportunity to make written representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out because it had not been actively pursued.

The claimant did not make representations in writing, did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. The tribunal therefore struck out the claim under rule 37. No remedy or substantive findings on liability were recorded in the judgment.

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.
