Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal had previously given the claimant an opportunity, in case management orders dated 22 December 2022, to make representations or request a hearing on whether the claims against the second to seventh respondents should be struck out. The stated reason was that the first respondent accepted liability for their actions and was not relying on the statutory defence under section 109(4) Equality Act.
The claimant did not make written representations, did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. The Tribunal therefore struck out the claims against the six named individual respondents. The claims were directed to continue against the first respondent only.

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.
