Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment records that the claim was issued in the Midlands East Employment Tribunals on 11 January 2023 and that the respondent failed to present a valid response on time. Employment Judge Victoria Butler therefore decided that a determination could properly be made of the claim, or part of it, under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The order also states that the hearing listed for 18 March 2024 was converted to a remedy hearing. The extracted text does not set out the underlying substantive allegations, any liability findings on the merits, or any monetary award.

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.
