Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningOn 6 February 2025 the tribunal gave Mr McFarlane an opportunity to provide written reasons by 20 February 2025, or to request a hearing, to explain why the claim should not be struck out. The judgment records that he did not give an acceptable reason and did not request a hearing.
Employment Judge F Eccles therefore struck out the claim under rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the ground that it had not been actively pursued within rule 38(1)(d). The judgment records no substantive determination of the underlying claim and no monetary award.

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.
