Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claim after writing to the claimant on 21 January 2026 warning that it was considering doing so. The stated grounds were that the claimant had not complied with the Tribunal's order dated 12 November 2025 and that the claim had not been actively pursued.
The letter gave the claimant an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing. The claimant did not reply, and Employment Judge Midgley was satisfied that the grounds for strike out under Rule 38 applied and that strike out accorded with the overriding objective in Rule 3.

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.
