Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

By a letter dated 24 August 2022, the Tribunal gave Mr J Porter until 7 September 2022 to make representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out on the grounds set out in Portakabin Ltd's letter of 2 August 2022. The grounds included that the proceedings had been conducted in a scandalous, unreasonable or vexatious manner, that Mr Porter had not complied with the Tribunal's order dated 2 July 2021, and that the claim had not been actively pursued.

Mr Porter did not make written representations and did not ask for a hearing. The Tribunal therefore struck out the claim. The hearing listed for 23 September 2022 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.
