Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claim under rule 37 of Schedule 1 to the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013, on the ground that it had not been actively pursued under rule 37(1)(d).
The claimant did not attend a telephone case management hearing listed for 4 July 2023, despite repeated efforts to contact her, and no postponement application had been made. The Tribunal then wrote to the claimant on 6 July 2023 giving her until 20 July 2023 to provide written reasons, or request a hearing, to explain why the claim should not be struck out.
The claimant did not respond to that correspondence, did not provide an acceptable reason, and did not request a hearing. The Tribunal 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.
