Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was an open preliminary hearing before Employment Judge V. Jones sitting alone on 20 February 2019, with the written order dated 28 February 2020. The claimant, Mr N. Hand, applied to amend his ET1 so as to add two protected-disclosure claims: unfair dismissal contrary to s103A Employment Rights Act 1996 and detriment contrary to s47B Employment Rights Act 1996.
The tribunal dismissed the claimant's application to amend. The order does not set out the tribunal's reasoning in the extracted text, but the practical effect was that the proposed whistleblowing-related unfair dismissal and detriment claims were not added to the proceedings.
The respondent's application for a costs order in relation to the preliminary hearing was also dismissed. No substantive liability findings or monetary award are recorded in the extracted order.

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.
