Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the breach of contract claim brought by Mr L Nicholas against UK Windows and Doors Group Ltd (in administration) and the Secretary of State for Business and Trade. The Tribunal had written to the claimant on 24 October 2025 warning that it was considering striking out the breach of contract claim under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 because the claimant had not complied with the Tribunal's orders dated 2 June 2025 and its letter of 20 June 2025, and the claims were not being actively pursued.
The letter gave the claimant an opportunity to explain why the breach of contract claim should not be struck out, or to request a hearing at which to do so, but the claimant did not respond. Employment Judge C Sharp was satisfied that the grounds for striking out under Rule 38 applied and that doing so would be in accordance with the overriding objective in Rule 3, and accordingly struck the breach of contract claim out.

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.
