Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary issue hearing in Cardiff on 2 September 2019 before Employment Judge A Frazer, the tribunal considered the claimant's application dated 1 February 2019 to amend her claim to add allegations of harassment and victimisation arising from the third respondent's report dated 9 April 2018 and an invitation to a recruitment interview on 25 April 2018. Applying the Selkent amendment principles, the tribunal dismissed the application. It found the proposed additions were not minor amendments, had not been pleaded earlier, and were brought late.
The tribunal did not go on to determine the merits of the proposed harassment and victimisation allegations. It also said it was not appropriate at that stage to decide whether it had jurisdiction to hear allegations of harassment by the claimant's line manager. No remedy was awarded.

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.
