Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Lucy Wiseman struck out the claim under rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 because it had not been actively pursued in terms of rule 38(1)(d).
The Tribunal recorded that on 13 May 2025 the claimant was given an opportunity to provide written reasons by 27 May 2025, or to request a hearing, to explain why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant did not provide an acceptable reason why such a judgment should not be made and did not request a hearing. No remedy or monetary award was recorded.

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.
