Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge T. Vincent Ryan on 3 November 2020. The tribunal recorded that the claimant was represented by his father and the respondent by counsel and a solicitor. No lay members were listed, so this was a judge-alone hearing.
The claimant's unfair dismissal claim was dismissed because the tribunal held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear it, the reason given being that the claimant was still employed by the respondent. The judgment therefore did not determine the merits of any dismissal complaint.
The claimant withdrew two claims, which were then dismissed upon withdrawal: breach of contract, and a claim described as breach of the public sector equality duty. The claimant's disability discrimination claims were dismissed because they had been presented out of time, and the tribunal held that it would not be just and equitable to extend time to the date of presentation.

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.
