Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy a letter dated 8 September 2019, the tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to make representations or to request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out for not having been actively pursued. The claimant did not make written representations, or did not make any sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing.
Employment Judge T M Garnon therefore struck out the claim under rule 37. The judgment lists Unite the Union and a schedule of individual claimants against Focus (MDC) Ltd; no substantive merits findings or remedy were recorded.

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.
