Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013 because it had not been actively pursued. The claimant did not appear or have representation at a telephone preliminary hearing on 29 June 2020, and did not contact the tribunal or give any reason for non-attendance.
After that non-attendance, the Employment Judge sent a strike-out warning letter. On 2 July 2020 the tribunal gave the claimant until 16 July 2020 to provide written reasons 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 tribunal struck out the claim.

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.
