Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal 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). The judgment records that, at the hearing on 22 October 2018, the tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to provide written reasons by 29 October 2018 or to request a further hearing on why the claim should not be struck out.
The claimant did not provide an acceptable reason by the deadline and did not request a hearing. On that basis, the tribunal concluded that the claim should be struck out. No substantive determination of the underlying merits is recorded in the extracted judgment, and no monetary award is made.

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.
