Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningOn 15 July 2022 Employment Judge Heap struck out the claim under rule 37. The tribunal had written on 31 May 2022 giving the claimant an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out for having no reasonable prospect of success, because the claimant had entered into a binding agreement to settle the claim via ACAS.
The tribunal accepted the claimant had made representations, but found they were insufficient because they did not address the central point that he no longer had standing to bring the claim once he had entered into the binding settlement agreement. The claim was therefore struck out because it had no reasonable prospect of success. No remedy was awarded.

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.
