Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal issued a strike out judgment under rule 37 in relation to the claimant's equal pay complaint against the comparators Mr Thornburn and Mr Touhey. By a letter dated 24 November 2020, the claimant was given an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why that complaint should not be struck out because it had no reasonable prospect of success.
The Tribunal recorded that the claimant failed to make sufficient representations. On that basis, the equal pay complaints against Mr Thornburn and Mr Touhey only were struck out.
The Tribunal also noted that the claimant's remaining claims would be determined at a preliminary hearing on 12 to 14 April 2021 and at the full merits hearing listed for 13 to 24 September 2021.

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.
