Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a hearing on 10 February 2023 before Employment Judge Noons at Birmingham by CVP, the claimant, Ms R Oladele, was represented by counsel and the respondent, The Children's Society (Services) Ltd, was also represented by counsel. The judgment records one allegation only: that the respondent subjected the claimant to a detriment under section 48 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 by telling her to take time off in lieu or use annual leave rather than returning to work.
The tribunal held that the allegation had no reasonable prospect of success and struck it out. No merits findings, liability findings, or compensation award are recorded in the extracted judgment.

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.
