Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal struck out the complaint of indirect age discrimination because the claimant failed to pay the £200 deposit that had been ordered following a preliminary hearing held on 7 February 2019. The order was sent to the claimant on 20 February 2019, but the deposit was not paid.

The judgment records that the strike-out was made under rule 39(4) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. It also states that the complaints of unfair dismissal and direct age discrimination were not affected by this decision, so they were not determined in this judgment.

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.
