Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a hearing in Leeds by video on 13 May 2025, Employment Judge T Knowles struck out the Claimant's claims of unfair dismissal and harassment related to disability. The tribunal recorded that those claims had no reasonable prospect of success and therefore were struck out under Rule 38(1)(a) of the Employment Tribunal Rules.
The judgment states that those claims were dismissed. It does not record any monetary remedy for the struck-out claims.
The Claimant's other claims, pleaded as wrongful dismissal and unauthorised deductions from wages, were not determined at this stage and were listed to proceed to a final 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.
