Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a short rule 37 strike-out judgment in case 2602253/2019. By letter dated 19 December 2019, the Tribunal gave Mr G Poole an opportunity to make written representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out because he had not complied with the Tribunal's order of 19 August 2019 and because it had not been actively pursued.
Mr Poole did not make representations in writing, or did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. Employment Judge Victoria Butler therefore struck out the claim on 31 December 2019, and the hearing listed for 30 January 2020 did not take place. The judgment does not decide the merits of the listed breach of contract and unfair dismissal complaints and records no monetary award.

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.
