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.

The Tribunal had given the claimant an opportunity by 13 March 2019 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 or 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.
