Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Julian Cutting's claim against Bidfood was struck out by Employment Judge Graham on 22 June 2026. The grounds were that Cutting had not complied with the tribunal's order dated 15 January 2026 and had not actively pursued the claim.

The tribunal wrote to Cutting on 30 March 2026, warning that it was considering striking out the claim and giving an opportunity to explain why it should not do so or to request a hearing. Cutting did not reply. The judge was satisfied that the grounds for strike-out under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 applied and that striking out the claim accorded with the overriding objective in Rule 3. The judgment records 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.
