Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out Kenneth Colvin's claim against Rambler Coaches Ltd. On 9 July 2026, it warned the claimant that it was considering strike-out under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 because the claim had not been actively pursued and/or a fair hearing was no longer possible following non-compliance with the Tribunal's order dated 28 March 2025. The claimant was invited to explain why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing, but did not reply.
Regional Employment Judge Khalil was satisfied that the Rule 38 grounds applied and that strike-out accorded with the overriding objective in Rule 3. The Tribunal found that the claim was not being actively pursued and that non-compliance with orders meant a fair trial was not possible on the listed dates. The claim was therefore struck out, the hearing scheduled for 27–28 July 2026 was cancelled, and no remedy was recorded.

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.
