Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The order records a private CVP hearing before Employment Judge Oldroyd on 13 and 14 May 2024. The claimant's application dated 8 May 2024 to reconsider the deposit order was dismissed, and her application dated 15 August 2023 to amend the claim to bring Category 2 claims was also dismissed.

The tribunal granted the claimant's separate application dated 15 August 2023 to amend the claim to bring Category 3 and 4 allegations as victimisation, direct disability discrimination and a failure to make reasonable adjustments, but only in part. The order states that the allegations at paragraphs 73.2.6, 73.2.8 and 73.2.9 of the earlier order were to proceed as allegations of victimisation and direct disability discrimination only. The claimant's application dated 22 November 2023 to strike out the respondent's claim was dismissed. The extract contains no monetary award or other remedy.

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.
