Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a strike-out judgment under rule 37. By letter dated 24 February 2021, the Tribunal gave Mrs A Abbott an opportunity to make representations, or request a hearing, on why the claim should not be struck out for failure to comply with the Tribunal's order dated 16 September 2020 and because it had not been actively pursued. The judgment records that the claimant failed to make written representations, or failed to make any sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing.
The Tribunal therefore struck out the claim. The hearing listed for 19 March 2021 did not take place. The judgment does not contain any findings on the substantive merits of the underlying claims, and no remedy was awarded.

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.
