Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal struck out the claim. It recorded that, by letter dated 13 August 2019, the claimant had been given an opportunity to make written representations or request a hearing as to why the claim should not be struck out because she had not complied with the Tribunal's order dated 25 March 2019.

The claimant did not make written representations and did not request a hearing. The Tribunal therefore struck out the claim, and the hearing fixed for 6 September 2019 did not take place.

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.
