Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out Olha Bykovska's claim against Cake 7 Ltd and Simit Chai Ltd (In Creditors' Voluntary Liquidation). It did not determine the merits of the breach of contract, whistleblowing, unfair dismissal, unlawful deduction from wages, or working time claims.
On 27 April 2026, the Tribunal wrote to the claimant warning that it was considering striking out the claim under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 because the claim appeared not to be actively pursued. The letter allowed the claimant to explain why the claim should not be struck out or to request a hearing, but the claimant did not reply. Employment Judge Woodhead was satisfied that the Rule 38 grounds applied and that striking out the claim for want of active pursuit accorded with the overriding objective in Rule 3. No monetary remedy was awarded or addressed.

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.
