Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Employment Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 38(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 on the ground that it had not been actively pursued. The judgment does not record any substantive determination of the underlying claim type or merits.
The Tribunal had written to the claimant on 12 February 2026 seeking further specification of the claim with a view to issuing a judgment under Rule 22 because the respondent had not provided a response. The claimant did not reply. Further reminders were sent on 27 February 2026 and 09 March 2026, and no reply was received.
On 19 March 2026 the Tribunal issued a strike out warning, giving the claimant until 02 April 2026 to provide written reasons or request a hearing to consider why the claim should not be struck out for not being actively pursued. No reply was received, and the claim was therefore struck out. No remedy was awarded.

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.
