Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013, on the ground that it had not been actively pursued in terms of rule 37(1)(d).
The Tribunal had given the claimant until 27 March 2017 to provide written reasons why the claim should not be struck out, or to request a hearing on that issue. The claimant did not give an acceptable reason or request a hearing, so the Tribunal struck out the 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.
