Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal, sitting in Scotland before Employment Judge M Sutherland, struck out J Fletcher's claim against POA Restaurants Ltd under rule 37(1)(d) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 because it had not been actively pursued. The judgment states that on 12 August 2024 the Tribunal ordered the claimant to provide a schedule of loss by 26 August 2024, but no reply was received.
The Tribunal then issued a reminder on 3 September 2024 and a final reminder on 11 September 2024, each seeking compliance with the order. No response was received to either reminder. On 20 September 2024 the Tribunal gave the claimant until 4 October 2024 to provide written reasons or to request a hearing to explain why the claim should not be struck out, but again there was no reply.
On that basis, the Tribunal concluded that the claim should be struck out for non-prosecution. The judgment does not record any substantive findings on the merits of the underlying claim or any monetary award.

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.
