Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal did not determine the merits of Mr S Adam's equal pay claim. On 5 February 2018, Employment Judge Laura Doherty gave the claimant an opportunity to provide written reasons by 12 February 2018 or to request a hearing to consider why the claim should not be struck out.
The claimant did not provide an acceptable reason why strike out should not be ordered 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 on the ground that the claim had not been actively pursued under 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.
