Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure on the ground that the claim had not been actively pursued in terms of rule 37(1)(d).
The claimant had been given an opportunity on 13 February 2020 to provide written reasons by 27 February 2020, or to request a hearing, to explain why the claim should not be struck out. The Tribunal recorded that the claimant failed to provide an acceptable reason why judgment should not be made and did not request a hearing.

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.
