Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing on 16 September 2021, Employment Judge Halliday considered the respondent's application to strike out Mr K Meehan's claim on the basis that it had no reasonable prospects of success. The respondent was represented by counsel and the claimant appeared in person.
The tribunal refused the application. This decision did not determine the merits of the underlying claim; it recorded only that the case would not be struck out at that stage. No remedy was assessed in this judgment, and the written record notes that reasons were given orally at the 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.
