Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the ground that it had not been actively pursued.
The reasons given were that, following a direction from the Employment Judge, the tribunal wrote to the claimant on 23 September 2025 requesting additional information. That correspondence was returned indicating that the claimant no longer lived at the address given in the ET1, and the claimant had not informed the tribunal of a new address.
The tribunal recorded that, without updated contact details, it could not communicate with the claimant and had been unable to give notice under rule 38. In those circumstances, it assumed that the claimant no longer wished to pursue the claim and struck it out.

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.
