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.
The correspondence sent to the claimant at the address provided had been returned marked "gone away". No new address had been provided, and the claimant's previous agents had withdrawn and did not hold any alternative address for him. In those circumstances, the tribunal concluded that the claim was not being actively pursued.

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.
