Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mr J Lang's claim against the University of Exeter under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Rules because it was not being actively pursued. The judgment does not identify or decide the merits of the underlying causes of action.
Mr Lang did not attend the case management preliminary hearing on 23 June 2026 and gave no notice or excuse. He had also failed to respond to the respondent's correspondence, supply an agenda to the tribunal, or agree a list of issues. A case management order sent on 15 July warned that strike-out was under consideration and gave him until 4 pm on 30 July 2026 to object in writing or request a hearing. He did neither, so the claim was struck out. No monetary award or other remedy was recorded.

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.
