Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

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

The Tribunal had given the claimant until 27 March 2017 to provide written reasons, or to request a hearing, to address why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant did not give an acceptable reason why such a judgment should not be made and did not request a hearing, so the Tribunal 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.
