Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The 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, referring specifically to rule 37(1)(d).

The Tribunal had given the claimant an opportunity on 6 September 2019 to provide written reasons by 23 September 2019, or to request a hearing, to explain why the claim should not be struck out. The claimant did not provide an acceptable reason and did not request a hearing, so the claim was struck 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.
