Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing on 13 July 2023 before Employment Judge G. King at Bristol ET via VHS, the tribunal dealt with applications rather than the substantive employment claims. The Respondent's application for a Costs Order was refused. The tribunal found that the Claimant's conduct was not unreasonable and added that, in any event, it would not have exercised its discretion to make a Costs Order in the circumstances.
The Claimant's application for a Preparation Time Order was also refused because it was made out of time. No monetary award was made. The written record notes that reasons had been 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.
