Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a strike out judgment under rule 37. By letter dated 6 February 2023, the tribunal gave Mr R Kitson until 4pm on 9 February 2023 to make written representations or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out. The stated grounds were that he had not complied with the tribunal's order dated 25 March 2022 and that the claim had not been actively pursued.
Mr Kitson did not make any written representations and did not ask for a hearing in response to the tribunal's letter or the respondent's application dated 31 January 2023. The tribunal therefore struck out the claim. The hearing listed for 13 to 16 February 2023 did not take place.
The judgment does not identify the substantive nature of the underlying claim, and it records no findings on the merits 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.
