Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the claim after giving the claimant an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why strike out should not occur because the claim had not been actively pursued. The claimant made no written representations and did not request a hearing.
The tribunal noted that, although correspondence suggested some documents may have been sent to the respondent, the claimant had not provided a written witness statement for the hearing and had not complied with the direction to set out the compensation sought and the calculation of loss. The judge inferred that the claimant did not intend to give evidence and found that, without such evidence, he had no reasonable prospect of establishing that he had been dismissed. The claim was therefore struck out and the hearing listed for 3 February 2020 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.
