Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a deposit-not-paid judgment in which the Employment Tribunal recorded that the claimant, Croner Group Ltd, had been ordered to pay a £500 deposit following a preliminary hearing on 1 May 2020. The order was sent to the claimant on 5 May 2020.
The claimant did not pay the deposit. On that basis, the tribunal struck out the employer's complaint of breach of contract under rule 39(4) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The judgment does not record any determination of the underlying merits of the contract claim.

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.
