Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal at Leeds on 4 December 2020 dealt with a strike out application under rule 37. It struck out the claimant’s complaint of associative disability discrimination on the ground that it had no reasonable prospects of success.
The judgment records that the claimant, Mr M. Blackwood, appeared in person and the respondent, School ICT Services Ltd, was represented by Mr Menham, solicitor. The tribunal did not determine the claimant’s remaining complaint of constructive unfair dismissal at this hearing; it states that that claim remained listed for a later 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.
