Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, S Parkes, brought an age discrimination complaint against GBA Group Limited. After a preliminary hearing on 29 July 2024, the tribunal ordered the claimant to pay a deposit of £100 by 26 August 2024, and the order was sent on 30 July 2024.
The claimant did not pay the deposit. The tribunal recorded that the claimant had been made aware of the consequences of non-payment and that no extension of time had been granted. On that basis, the age discrimination complaint was struck out under rule 39(4) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The judgment does not record any substantive determination of the merits of the discrimination complaint, and no remedy was awarded.

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.
