Mr M French
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy letter dated 25 November 2020, the Tribunal gave Mr M French an opportunity to make written representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out. The stated reasons were that he had not complied with the Tribunal's order of 18 February 2020 and that the claim had not been actively pursued, including failure to dial into a telephone hearing on 23 November 2020 and failure to respond to a voicemail left on his mobile telephone after his daughter said he was at work.
Mr French did not make written representations, or did not make any sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. Employment Judge Sweeney therefore struck out the claim on 16 December 2020 under rule 37. The judgment does not determine the merits of the pleaded claims 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.
