Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal sat at Sheffield on 20 to 24, 27 and 28 March 2023 before Employment Judge A James with Mr J Howarth and Ms B R Hodgkinson. The judgment dated 28 March 2023 and sent on 29 March 2023 records that the claim of automatically unfair dismissal under s.103A Employment Rights Act 1996 was not upheld and was dismissed, and that the whistleblowing detriment claims under s.48 Employment Rights Act 1996 were also not upheld and dismissed.
The tribunal also dismissed the claimant's age and sex discrimination claims, which the judgment grouped together as 'age and or sex discrimination'. The extracted decision text records the outcomes only and does not set out any monetary award or split remedy because all claims were dismissed.

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.
