Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Bradford, sitting at Bristol by video, considered a strike-out application at a hearing the claimant did not attend. The claimant, a HGV driver, had brought claims for arrears of pay and holiday pay alleging he was owed £1,000; the respondent had accepted £72.33 was owed.
The Tribunal had repeatedly directed the claimant to set out the calculation of the sum he claimed and given a strike-out warning. The judge found that the claimant was aware of the hearing and had decided not to attend, and had repeatedly failed to comply with case management orders. Balancing fairness, the interests of the parties and finality, the judge exercised her discretion under rule 38(1)(c) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 and struck out the claim. 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.
