Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a strike out judgment under rule 37. By letter dated 2 June 2020, the tribunal gave Mr B Symes an opportunity to make written representations, or to request a hearing, explaining why the claim should not be struck out for not having been actively pursued.
The claimant did not make representations in writing, did not make any sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. On that basis, the tribunal struck out the claim. The judgment does not determine the underlying merits of the claim and records no monetary award.

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.
