Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal wrote to the claimant on 19 December 2025 warning that it was considering striking out the claim because it appeared, applying Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024, that the claim had no reasonable prospect of success.

The claimant did not reply or request a hearing. Employment Judge T.R.Smith was satisfied that the Rule 38 grounds applied and that striking out the claim was in accordance with the overriding objective in Rule 3, because the tribunal lacked jurisdiction under section 108 Employment Rights Act 1996.

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.
