Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38 on the ground that it had not been actively pursued. The claimant's solicitors had withdrawn, and a strike out warning letter was sent after the claimant failed to reply to a status enquiry asking her to confirm her intentions for the claim.
The correspondence was returned to the Tribunal Office indicating that the claimant no longer lived at the address provided on the ET1. The Tribunal recorded that the claimant had not provided a new address, leaving it unable to communicate with her or give notice under rule 38(2). It assumed in those circumstances that she no longer wished to pursue the claim.

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. See full methodology.
