Americold

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

By a letter dated 13 August 2024, the Tribunal gave the Claimant an opportunity to make written representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out for having no reasonable prospect of success against Americold. The judgment records that the Claimant did not make written representations and did not request a hearing.

On that basis, Employment Judge Heap struck out the claim. The judgment states that the hearing fixed for 19 September 2024 will not take place. No remedy was awarded or assessed in the decision.

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.
