Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningOn 7 August 2020, the tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to provide written reasons by 14 August 2020 or to request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out. The judgment records that 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, relying on rule 37(1)(a) on the basis that the claim had no reasonable prospect of success and rule 37(1)(d) on the basis that it had not been actively pursued. The judgment does not record any substantive findings on the merits of the underlying claim.
No monetary award is recorded in the judgment. The decision is dated 20 August 2020 and was entered in the register on 27 August 2020.

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.
