Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The claim was issued on 20 September 2021. The respondent entered a response, but Employment Judge Victoria Butler struck that response out because the respondent had failed to comply with orders and had not actively pursued its defence. The judgment states that Rule 37(3) of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013 therefore applied, and that Employment Judge Heap could determine the claim under Rule 21.

The order records that the claim succeeds. This short judgment does not set out the underlying factual merits of the pleaded complaints, and it does not make any award at this stage. Remedy is left to a separate remedy hearing, notice of which had already been sent to the parties.

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.
