Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At a preliminary hearing on 7 October 2022, heard in private by telephone at Leeds before Employment Judge R S Drake, the claimant appeared in person and the respondents were represented by Mr T McArdle. The tribunal did not determine any claim on its merits at that hearing.

It dismissed the unlawful deduction from pay claim on withdrawal because the claimant said he was pursuing compensation and losses under his other substantive claims. The judgment records that the dismissal followed withdrawal rather than any merits finding, and no financial award was made on that claim.

The tribunal also dismissed on withdrawal three further heads of claim described as 'Obfuscation', 'Malicious Falsehood', and 'Failure to comply with a Duty of Care in respect of the Protection from Harassment Act 1997'. It recorded that these were putative heads of claim for which the tribunal did not have jurisdiction.

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.
