Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013 on the ground that it had not been actively pursued under rule 37(1)(d).

The judgment records that on 5 September 2017 the claimant was given an opportunity to provide written reasons by 19 September 2017, or to request a hearing, to address why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant did not give an acceptable reason why judgment should not be made and did not request a hearing. The Tribunal therefore struck out the claim.

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.
