Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment concerned a preliminary hearing about compliance with an unless order, relief from sanction, and the respondent's costs application. The Tribunal found that the claimant had not complied with the unless order made on 14 March 2024, which required a witness statement by 10 May 2024 and provided for dismissal as the sanction.
The Tribunal refused the claimant's application for relief from sanction under Rule 38(2). It weighed the interests of justice and considered factors including the claimant's continuing default, the absence of a witness statement, the likely prejudice to the respondent, the history of non-compliance with directions and orders, and the effect on the listed final hearing.
The claim and all complaints remained dismissed, bringing the claim to an end and vacating the listed full merits hearing. The respondent's costs application was also dismissed, with reasons given orally.

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.
