Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant's solicitors had withdrawn from acting for her. On 30 June 2025, the Tribunal sent correspondence asking the claimant to confirm her intention regarding the claim, but that correspondence was returned indicating that she no longer resided at the address provided on the ET1.
The claimant had not provided a new address, so the Tribunal could not communicate with her and was unable to give notice under rule 38(2) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. The Tribunal assumed in those circumstances that she no longer wished to pursue the claim and struck it out under rule 38(1)(d).

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. See full methodology.
