Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal wrote to the claimant on 3 January 2026 warning that it was considering striking out the claim. The warning was based on Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, because the claimant had not complied with the Tribunal's 7 November 2025 order requiring a response to the respondent's application for an unless order within seven days, and because the claim had not been actively pursued.

The claimant was given until 10 January 2026 to explain why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing. The claimant did not reply, so the claim was struck out and the hearing listed for 10 February 2026 was cancelled.

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.
