Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing in Leeds before Employment Judge Lancaster on 9 May 2019, at which the respondent raised a res judicata defence. The tribunal held that Mr Gregson was estopped from raising allegations that had already been determined in case number 1802011/2017, which had been dismissed upon withdrawal in a judgment dated 5 March 2018.
The tribunal struck out all complaints of sex discrimination except two specific matters: the alleged refusal to allow the claimant to return to Highgate House to work after 23 February 2018, and the alleged failure to offer appropriate support throughout the capability process, or generally, between 23 February 2018 and the date of dismissal. The tribunal stated that the sex discrimination complaints which may proceed are subject to a separate deposit order. No substantive merits finding or remedy award is recorded in this judgment.

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.
