Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal wrote to Colin Upchurch on 6 February 2026 warning that it was considering striking out his claim against Globerella Limited and JourneyHero Limited under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 because the claim appeared not to have been actively pursued. The letter invited him to explain why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing, but he did not reply.
Employment Judge Manley was satisfied that the grounds for striking out the claim under Rule 38 applied and that striking it out accorded with the overriding objective in Rule 3. The claim was therefore struck out. The judgment records no 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.
