Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claimant's entire claim. It had written to the claimant on 3 December 2025 warning that strike out was being considered because it appeared she had not complied with Tribunal orders dated 17 September 2025 and/or had not actively pursued the claim, so that a fair hearing was no longer possible.
The claimant did not reply to explain why the claim should not be struck out or request a hearing. Employment Judge Klimov was satisfied that the Rule 38 grounds applied and that strike out was in accordance with the overriding objective in Rule 3, referring to non-compliance with orders, lack of active pursuit, absence of explanation, and the claim not being ready for merits consideration. The hearing listed for 18 February 2026 was vacated.

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.
