Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningOn 30 July 2021 the tribunal wrote to the claimant giving an opportunity to make written representations, or to request a hearing, as to why the claim should not be struck out for not having been actively pursued. The judgment records that no representations were made in writing, or that any representations made were not sufficient, and no hearing was requested.
On that basis, the tribunal struck out the claim. The decision is brief and does not record any substantive findings on liability, nor any monetary award or remedy. The judgment is signed by Employment Judge Martin on 23 August 2021.
The schedule attached to the judgment lists the individual claimant cases included within the group proceedings, but the reason for strike-out is procedural rather than merits-based and applies to the claim as a whole.

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.
