Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claim under Rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The stated grounds were non-compliance with an Order of the Tribunal under Rule 37(1)(c) and that the claim had not been actively pursued under Rule 37(1)(d).
On 12 November 2019, the Tribunal gave the claimant until 19 November 2019 to provide written reasons why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing. The claimant did not provide an acceptable reason or request a hearing, and 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.
