Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal struck out Mrs Bell's claim against Simply UK under rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. The reasons given were non-compliance with the tribunal's order of 15 April 2025 and failure to actively pursue the claim.

The tribunal recorded that it wrote to the claimant on 15 April 2025 seeking further information. No reply was received within the time allowed, and reminder letters were then sent on 23 June 2025, again without response.

A strike out warning letter was issued on 30 June 2025, giving the claimant until 7 July 2025 to respond or explain why judgment should not be issued. The tribunal noted that she did not respond, did not ask for a hearing, and therefore struck out the claim.

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.
