Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr L Armstrong’s claim against United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI) was heard at London Central by CVP on 13 November 2024 before Employment Judge Davidson. The claimant did not attend; the respondent was represented by counsel.
The tribunal struck out the claim under Employment Tribunal Rule 37(1)(a) on the basis that it had no reasonable prospect of success. The reason given was that Mr Armstrong was not employed by the respondent and was not a worker of the respondent, so there was no valid claim that could be pursued against UKRI.
Judgment was sent to the parties on 21 November 2024. No monetary award was made.

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.
