Strood Academy and Leigh Academies Trust

Case Summary

Ms T Donoghue brought a claim against Strood Academy and Leigh Academies Trust. The Tribunal sent correspondence to the claimant on 19 January 2026 asking whether she wished to pursue the claim in light of related Harpur Trust litigation, but the letter was returned as undeliverable and no alternate address was provided. The claim was struck out as the claimant was not actively pursuing it.

The claim was struck out because the Tribunal's correspondence to the claimant was returned as undeliverable, the claimant did not provide an alternate address, and it appeared the claimant was not actively pursuing the claim.
