Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with a complaint described in the judgment as automatic unfair dismissal. A preliminary hearing on 7 October 2020 resulted in an order that the claimant pay a deposit of £50.00, and the order was sent to him on 17 October 2020.
The claimant did not pay the deposit. On that basis, Employment Judge Johnson struck out the complaint under rule 39(4) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. No liability findings were made on the substance of the dismissal complaint, and no monetary award was recorded.

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.
