Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningOn 27 March 2018 the tribunal gave Mrs I Morton an opportunity to provide written reasons by 10 April 2018 or to request a hearing so that the tribunal could consider why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant did not give an acceptable reason and did not request a hearing.
The tribunal therefore struck out the claim under rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013, on the ground that the claim had not been actively pursued within rule 37(1)(d). The judgment records no substantive determination of liability and no monetary award.
Claims and outcomes
1 finding recorded| Claim type | Issue or finding | Outcome | Protected characteristic | Award |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Equal pay | The judgment does not restate the substantive legal basis of the claim; the case was struck out under rule 37(1)(d) for not being actively pursued. The gov.uk listing for the case identifies the matter as an Equal Pay Act case, so equal_pay is the best fit, but this is not spelled out in the judgment text. | Struck 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.
