Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningOn 21 October 2019, Employment Judge Wiseman gave Mr R Bickerstaff an opportunity to provide written reasons by 4 November 2019, or to request a hearing, to explain why the claim should not be struck out. The judgment records that the claimant did not do either.
The Tribunal found that no acceptable reason had been given why a strike-out order should not be made. It 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).
No substantive determination of the underlying employment claims or any remedy was made. The judgment is a procedural disposal only and records the strike out and the date of judgment as 5 November 2019.

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.
