Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

This judgment concerned only the second respondent's response, not the substantive merits of the underlying employment claims. The tribunal recorded that the second respondent had not attended hearings or corresponded for some time, had not complied with case management orders, and did not attend the urgent preliminary hearing on 26 February 2025.

At the conclusion of that hearing a strike-out warning was given, but the second respondent did not respond. Judge Clark was satisfied that the second respondent was not actively pursuing his response and that it was just for the response to be struck out. The judgment, dated 5 March 2025, therefore struck out the second respondent's response. No monetary remedy was awarded in this 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.
