Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mr S Cheesman’s complaint of direct disability discrimination. It recorded that, following a preliminary hearing on 21 September 2020, the claimant was ordered to pay a deposit of £750.00, and that the order was sent to him on 30 November 2020.
The claimant did not pay the deposit. On that basis, the tribunal struck out the complaint under rule 39(4) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. No substantive liability findings or remedy assessment were made.

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.
