Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy letter dated 14 September 2021, the tribunal told the claimant that the claim might be struck out because it had no reasonable prospect of success and invited written representations or a request for a hearing. The claimant did not make representations, or did not make any sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing.
The tribunal therefore struck out the claim under Rule 37. The judgment does not record a hearing on the merits or any substantive findings on liability; the decision was procedural and based on the claimant's failure to respond adequately to the strike-out opportunity.

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.
