Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claim before the tribunal was a complaint of protected disclosure detriment under section 47B Employment Rights Act 1996. After a preliminary hearing on 16 January 2020, the claimant was ordered to pay a deposit of £200, and the order was sent on 23 January 2020.
The claimant did not pay the deposit. On that basis, the tribunal struck out the protected disclosure detriment complaint under rule 39(4) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
Because the claim was struck out, the hearing listed for 23 and 24 June 2020 did not go ahead. No substantive findings on liability or remedy were recorded.

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.
