Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Claimant brought claims alleging discrimination because of race and/or religion or belief, with a reference also made to holiday pay. The discrimination allegations were expressed in general terms and did not identify the alleged discriminators or the dates of the alleged acts.
After an earlier non-attendance and a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Massarella, the Claimant was ordered to clarify his claims and to state whether he sought to join the local authority as a party. The Claimant did not comply with those orders and did not participate in the claim after the hearing on 22 February 2021.
At the open preliminary hearing on 27 May 2021, the Claimant did not attend and had not applied for a postponement. Employment Judge Hallen struck out the claim in its entirety under Rule 37 on the grounds that it had no reasonable prospect of success, that the Claimant had not complied with Tribunal orders, and that he had not actively pursued the proceedings.

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.
