Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy consent on 30 June 2020, Employment Judge T Adkin substituted Linda Goodwin for Mr Lionel Victor Goodwin as the claimant and made a declaration under sections 124(2)(a) and 126 of the Equality Act 2010. The judgment records that the matter was disposed of by consent rather than after a contested liability hearing.

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.
