Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal had written to the claimant on 8 November 2019 giving him an opportunity to make 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 written representations, did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. The Tribunal therefore struck out the claim.

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.
