Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out Paul Wren's complaint of unfair dismissal because his employment had not ended. It was satisfied under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 that the complaint had no reasonable prospect of success.
The Tribunal had written to Mr Wren on 25 March 2026, giving him an opportunity to explain why the complaint should not be struck out or to request a hearing, but he did not reply. The Tribunal found that striking out the complaint accorded with the overriding objective in Rule 3. The rest of the claim was not affected, and no 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.
