EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND) Case No: 4102451/2020 Miss J Newman
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was listed for a preliminary hearing on time bar by Cloud Video Platform on 21 August 2020. The claimant did not attend and did not contact the tribunal to seek a postponement.
On 25 August 2020 the tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to provide written reasons by 8 September 2020, or to request a hearing to consider why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant did not respond. The tribunal therefore struck out the claim under rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 on the ground that it had not been actively pursued within rule 37(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.
