Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a strike-out judgment under rule 37 concerning the unfair dismissal complaint only. By a letter dated 11 March 2020, the tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to make written representations or request a hearing on why the unfair dismissal complaint should not be struck out because the claimant had not worked for the respondent for more than 2 years.
The claimant did not make representations in writing, did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. On that basis, the tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal complaint.
The judgment records that the claimant's remaining claims remained listed for hearing on 1 July 2020. No monetary award was made in this judgment.

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.
