Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out Mrs M J Smith's claim against NHS Highlands under rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 because it had not been actively pursued within rule 38(1)(d). The judgment did not determine the merits of the unlawful deduction from wages or working time matters identified in the listing categories.
On 30 March 2026, the Tribunal gave Mrs Smith until 8 April 2026 to provide written reasons why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing on that issue. She did not provide an acceptable reason or request a hearing, and the Tribunal therefore struck out the claim. No monetary remedy was awarded or addressed.

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.
