Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At a preliminary hearing in Birmingham on 16 October 2020, Employment Judge Broughton considered a disability discrimination point arising from the claimant's complaint that the respondent failed to carry out a risk assessment. The tribunal treated that allegation as a claim that there had been a failure to make a reasonable adjustment and struck it out on the basis that it had no reasonable prospect of success.

The judgment also records that the claimant's remaining claims were not struck out. The tribunal held that it was not just and equitable to strike those claims out on limitation grounds, although the final determination of time limits was left to the full hearing. No remedy was awarded at this stage.

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.
