Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal recorded that, on the Respondent's application, the Claimant's claims were struck out under rule 37(1)(b) and (e) of the Employment Tribunals Rules 2013.

The stated grounds were that the manner in which the Claimant had conducted the proceedings had been scandalous, vexatious, and unreasonable, and that the Tribunal considered a fair hearing was no longer possible. The Tribunal gave reasons orally at the hearing and did not include written reasons in the judgment.

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.
