Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing on 16 February 2021, the tribunal ordered the claimant to pay a deposit of £25 in respect of each of three complaints. The order was sent on 2 March 2021 and required payment by 12 March 2021. The claimant did not pay the deposits by that date; £75 was paid only on 15 March 2021 and no variation of the order had been sought.
The complaints were: indirect age discrimination concerning furlough payments that included average or any overtime pay; failure to make a reasonable adjustment by failing to inform the claimant about the interview process for the job/transfer; and failure to make a reasonable adjustment by providing the claimant with the interview questions in advance. Because the deposits had not been paid on time, those complaints were struck out under rule 39(4) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.
The judgment states that the remaining complaints would proceed to a final hearing, but it does not determine those claims or record any monetary award. The decision was issued by Employment Judge Maidment on 29 March 2021.

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.
