Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mr Gomes's claim under rule 37 after he failed to attend a hearing without reasonable excuse and did not provide written reasons within 21 days of the order dated 24 November 2020. The judgment states that, because no representations were made, the tribunal concluded that the claim was not being actively pursued.
The tribunal also made an unless order on 24 November 2020 requiring the claimant to provide further information about his alleged disability by 16 December 2020. He did not comply with that order, so the tribunal struck out the claim. The judgment records that any further hearings listed would not take place and does not contain any merits findings or 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.
