Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claimant's claim, Ms L Lightly v Tradewind Voyages, because the claimant had not complied with the Tribunal's direction dated 4 September 2023 and the claim had not been actively pursued. By a letter dated 18 October 2023, the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to make written representations or request a hearing as to why the claim should not be struck out.
The claimant did not make representations in writing, did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. On that basis, Employment Judge K Palmer struck out the claim. The judgment records the strike out only and does not contain findings on the underlying merits of the employment claim or any monetary remedy.

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.
