Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Hutchings struck out the complaints of automatic unfair dismissal brought by Mr P Baker and Ms H Armes against Chas Insurance Limited (case numbers 3306695/2024 and 3306697/2024).
Each claimant had been ordered to pay a deposit of £125 following a preliminary hearing on 17 December 2025. Both failed to pay the deposit, and the complaints were therefore struck out under rule 40(4) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024.

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.
