Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37. The claimant had been given an opportunity by letter dated 28 February 2020 to make representations or request a hearing as to why the claim should not be struck out.

The reasons given were that the claimant had not complied with the tribunal's order dated 13 November 2019 and that the claim had not been actively pursued. The claimant did not provide written representations or request a hearing, and the claim was therefore struck out.

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.
