Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss K Dent brought complaints against Expeditors International UK Ltd concerning a failure to properly consider a request for flexible working, less favourable treatment as a part-time worker, and direct and indirect sex discrimination. The case was heard at Leeds by CVP on 15-17 November 2021 before Employment Judge Maidment sitting with Ms J Lee and Mr M Elwen.
The tribunal dismissed all of the claimant’s complaints. The written judgment records only the outcome and does not set out separate written reasons, because reasons had been given orally at the hearing.
The judgment also records that no written reasons would be provided unless requested within 14 days of the written record being sent to the parties. No monetary remedy was awarded.

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.
