Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

By a letter dated 7 September 2022, the Tribunal gave Mr M Platts an opportunity to make representations, or to request a hearing, on why the claim should not be struck out on the basis that it had not been actively pursued and that he had failed to reply to the Tribunal’s letter of 11 July 2022.

The claimant did not make written representations, or did not make any sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. The Tribunal therefore struck out the claim. The judgment records no substantive determination of liability and no monetary award.

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.
