Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the video hearing on 16 December 2020 before Employment Judge Gray, the claimant withdrew the complaints identified at paragraphs 1.5.1 and 2.5.1 of the agreed list of issues. The tribunal dismissed those complaints on withdrawal.
The complaints at paragraphs 1.5.2, 2.5.2 and 3.8 were struck out because, taken on their own, they were out of time and had no reasonable prospect of establishing at trial that they formed part of conduct with other incidents so as to make them in time. The tribunal recorded that no complaints of harassment remained after disposal of paragraphs 2.5.1 and 2.5.2, so that head of complaint was dismissed.
The judgment states that the claimant's other complaints continued. No remedy was awarded in this record, and the written reasons were not provided because the judgment was 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.
