Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing on 17 August 2023, the tribunal ordered the Claimant, Mr A Trifu, to pay a deposit of £1,000 if he wished to continue with his complaints of breach of contract, unlawful deduction of wages, discrimination because of religion or belief, and discrimination because of race. The deposit order was sent to him on 30 August 2023.
The Claimant did not pay the deposit or any part of it. As a result, the tribunal struck out the complaints of unlawful deduction of wages, breach of contract, discrimination because of religion or belief, and discrimination because of race under rule 39(4) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The hearing listed for 1 and 2 February 2024 did not take place.

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.
