Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

On 25 September 2018 the tribunal gave Mr O'Donnell an opportunity to provide written reasons by 2 October 2018 or to request a hearing to address why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant did not provide an acceptable reason 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, relying on rule 37(1)(d) that the claim had not been actively pursued. The judgment records no substantive determination of liability and no remedy award.

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.
