Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 on the ground that it had not been actively pursued, within rule 37(1)(d).
The Tribunal had given the claimant an opportunity on 24 December 2019 to provide written reasons by 14 January 2020, or to request a hearing, to address why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant did not provide an acceptable reason why strike-out judgment should not be made and did not request a hearing.

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.
