Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal had ordered the Claimant by letter dated 7 February 2025 to pay a deposit of GBP 20 to continue the complaints of protected disclosure detriment and automatically unfair dismissal for making protected disclosures.
The Claimant did not pay the deposit. The Tribunal therefore struck out those complaints under Tribunal Rule 40, while the remaining breach of contract complaint was to proceed to a hearing under case management orders made the same day.

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.
