Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningOn 1 March 2021 the tribunal gave Mr Obrien an opportunity to provide written reasons by 8 March 2021, or to request a hearing, to explain why the claim should not be struck out. The judgment records that he did not provide an acceptable reason and did not request a hearing.
Employment Judge Hosie therefore struck out the claim under Rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013, relying on rule 37(1)(c) for non-compliance with an Order of the Tribunal and rule 37(1)(d) on the basis that the claim had not been actively pursued. The judgment does not determine the merits of any underlying claim.
No monetary award was made. The judgment is a strike-out decision only, dated 11 March 2021 and sent to the parties on 12 March 2021.

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.
