Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningOn 11 August 2026, the Tribunal warned David Carter that it was considering striking out his claim against Svella Connect Limited under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. The warning referred to a lack of active pursuit and/or breach of the Tribunal's orders. Carter was given an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing, but he did not reply.
Employment Judge Phil Allen found that the grounds for striking out under Rule 38 applied and that striking out the claim accorded with the overriding objective in Rule 3. The judgment, approved on 20 August 2026, struck out the claim and stated that the hearing scheduled for 27 and 28 August 2026 would not take place. It records no findings on the merits of the underlying claim and no 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.
