Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013 on the ground that it had not been actively pursued within rule 37(1)(d). The judgment records that on 4 December 2020 the claimant was given an opportunity to provide written reasons by 21 December 2020, or to request a hearing to explain why the claim should not be struck out.
The claimant did not provide an acceptable reason and did not request a hearing. On that basis, Employment Judge Frances Eccles struck out the claim in the judgment dated 8 April 2021.

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.
