Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the Liverpool hearing by video on 29 August 2025, Employment Judge Cookson struck out Mrs L Cookson's claim against Affinity Packaging Ltd under Employment Tribunal Rule 38(1)(a) on the basis that it had no reasonable prospect of success. The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days, so the judgment itself contains no fuller analysis of the underlying allegations.
The record does not identify the specific claim type or types advanced by the claimant, and it records no liability finding or remedy award. No further factual findings are set out in the written judgment beyond the strike-out decision.

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.
