Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal at Birmingham heard the matter by CVP on 14 September 2020 before Employment Judge Dean. It dismissed the claimant's unfair dismissal complaint because he had less than two years' employment and the tribunal said it had no jurisdiction to entertain that complaint.

The respondent's application to strike out the remaining complaints did not succeed. Instead, the tribunal ordered the claimant to pay a deposit of £50 as a condition of pursuing each of the remaining complaints: discrimination arising from something relating to disability, failure to make reasonable adjustments, direct sex discrimination, and victimisation. The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days.

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.
