Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At a remote open preliminary hearing in Birmingham on 20 July 2020, Employment Judge Perry struck out the claimant's victimisation complaint because it had no reasonable prospects of success. The tribunal did not finally determine the victimisation allegation at this hearing; it disposed of it on strike-out grounds only.

The tribunal then considered seven remaining factual complaints identified in Employment Judge Lloyd's order of 6 April 2020, pleaded as harassment or, in the alternative, direct discrimination because of race. It found that those complaints had little reasonable prospects of success.

As a result, the tribunal ordered the claimant to pay a deposit of £8.50 in relation to each of the seven complaints, making £59.50 in total, by 4:00 pm on 21 September 2020 if he wished to continue advancing them. If only some of the aggregate deposit was paid, he had to state which complaints he intended to pursue; any complaint for which a deposit was not paid would be struck out without further 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.
