Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

On 12 June 2021 the Tribunal wrote to Mr Byrd saying an Employment Judge was considering striking out the claim because it had not been actively pursued. He was given until 25 June 2021 to object in writing or request a hearing, but he did not respond.

Because there was no response, Employment Judge Vowles dismissed the claim under Rule 37 of Schedule 1 to the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013. The judgment records no substantive findings on the underlying merits of the case and 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.
