Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal struck out Mr V Cavan-McGhee's 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 records that the claim had been sisted pending settlement negotiations before the strike-out decision.
The tribunal wrote on 3 July 2025 asking for an update, including whether settlement had been finalised. After no reply, it sent a reminder on 14 July 2025 and then, on 23 July 2025, gave the claimant until 6 August 2025 to provide written reasons or request a hearing on why the claim should not be struck out. No reply was received to any of those letters, and the claim was therefore struck out. The decision was sent to the parties on 11 August 2025.

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.
