Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mr L Scott's claim against FOCUS (MDC) Ltd under rule 37 on the basis that it had not been actively pursued. The reasons state that the tribunal had given the claimant an opportunity to make written representations, or to request a hearing, on why the claim should not be struck out.
The claimant did not make representations in writing, did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. On that basis, the tribunal ordered that the claim be struck out.

The extracted text records a letter dated 06/07/2020 giving the claimant an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing, but this is inconsistent with the judgment date of 2 February 2020 as extracted from the same text. | Struck out | — | — |

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.
