Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing on 28 August 2020 at Wrexham by CVP, Employment Judge T. Vincent Ryan considered the respondent's applications in relation to the claimant's disability, race and age discrimination claims. The respondent asked for the claims to be dismissed as having no reasonable prospect of success, and in the alternative sought deposit orders. The claimant was a litigant in person and the respondent was represented by counsel.
The tribunal dismissed the respondent's application to dismiss the disability, race and age discrimination claims. It also refused the alternative deposit order application in relation to disability discrimination. In relation to the age and race discrimination claims, however, the tribunal made deposit orders of £100 and £400 respectively as preconditions to those claims proceeding to a full merits hearing.
The claimant's application of 12 May 2020 that the respondent's response be dismissed also failed and was dismissed in the interests of justice. The judgment record states that the reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested; no request was made 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.
