Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At the hearing on 10 February 2025, before Employment Judge McCooey sitting by CVP at Reading, the claimant did not attend and was not represented. The respondent was represented by counsel, Ms Ellena Margetts. The tribunal struck out the claim under Employment Tribunal Rule 38(1)(d) because it had not been actively pursued.

The written record does not set out the underlying factual allegations or any merits decision, and it does not identify the substantive claim type beyond the fact that it was struck out. The tribunal also directed that any costs application by the respondent be sent to the tribunal and claimant within 14 days, with any response due from the claimant within 14 days of receipt.

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. See full methodology.
