Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal in Glasgow, before Employment Judge Laura Doherty, did not determine the merits of Mr T Wilson’s underlying claim. Instead, it struck the claim out 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.
The reason given was procedural. On 1 December 2017 the Tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to provide written reasons by 8 December 2017, or to request a hearing so that the Tribunal could consider why the claim should not be struck out. The judgment records that the claimant failed to provide an acceptable reason or to request a hearing.
On that basis, the Tribunal struck out the claim. No substantive findings on liability, no compensatory award, and no other remedy are recorded 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.
