Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe respondent applied to strike out parts of the claimant's ET1 claim form that referred to terms of partial settlement negotiated with ACAS. The claimant was invited to object after a preliminary view was expressed that the material was privileged and could not be disclosed to the tribunal without both parties' consent.
The tribunal held that negotiations and communications entered into by the parties, including with ACAS assistance, are confidential unless both parties agree to disclosure. Because one party had not consented, the part of the ET1 referring to partial settlement terms was struck out.

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.
