Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out Michael Stumf's claim against Apex recruitment. The judgment records that the Tribunal wrote to the claimant on 03 March 2026 warning that it was considering striking out the claim because it appeared, applying Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, that the claim had not been actively pursued.
The letter gave the claimant an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing. The claimant did not reply. Regional Employment Judge Foxwell was satisfied that the grounds for striking out under Rule 38 applied and that striking out the claim was in accordance with the overriding objective in Rule 3.
The judgment records no monetary remedy and no determination of the underlying merits of the claim. The underlying claim type is not identified in the judgment text.

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.
