Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy a letter dated 3 April 2023, the Tribunal gave the claimant until 10 April 2023 to make written representations or request a hearing explaining why the claim should not be struck out because the claimant had not complied with the Tribunal's order of 2 December 2022 and because the claim had not been actively pursued. The claimant did not make any written representations and did not ask for a hearing.
The Tribunal therefore struck out the claim under rule 37. The hearing listed for 24 and 25 April 2023 did not take place. The judgment does not record any merits findings or any 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.
