Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claim. It had written to the claimant on 11 January 2026 warning that it was considering striking out the claim because it appeared, applying Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, that the claim had not been actively pursued.
The claimant was given an opportunity to explain why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing, but did not reply. Employment Judge Rayner was satisfied that the Rule 38 grounds applied and that strike-out was in accordance with the overriding objective in Rule 3.

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.
