Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

On 27 June 2018 the tribunal gave the claimant an opportunity to provide written reasons by 4 July 2018 or to request a hearing to address why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant did not do so.

Employment Judge Frances Eccles held that no acceptable reason had been given for the claim to remain live and no hearing had been requested. The tribunal therefore struck out the claim under rule 37.

The judgment states that the strike-out was made because the claim had not been actively pursued within rule 37(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013.

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.
