Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal, sitting under Employment Judge Victoria Butler, struck out Mr B Kitchen's claim against Stuart Ball. The judgment records that by letter dated 17 November 2021 the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out, because he had failed to respond to the Tribunal's letter dated 14 July 2021 and because the claim had not been actively pursued.
The claimant did not make written representations, did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. On that basis, the Tribunal struck out the claim in the judgment dated 16 December 2021. No monetary award was made and no further substantive findings on the merits are recorded in the extracted text.

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.
