Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe preliminary hearing was listed to consider whether the Claimant's claims had no or little prospect of success and should be struck out or made subject to a deposit order. The Respondent's position was that the Claimant's employment was still continuing after a termination on capability grounds in 2024 followed soon thereafter by reinstatement, and that the unfair dismissal, age discrimination, and public interest disclosure detriment claims could not proceed as pleaded.
The Claimant explained that her objective in bringing the proceedings was to secure continued employment and assurance up to retirement. The Respondent confirmed in open tribunal its present intention to continue employing her up to 29 June 2026, unless there was intervening valid cause.
The Claimant accepted that the purpose of pursuing the claims had been achieved and withdrew them. The Respondent consented, and the tribunal dismissed the claims by consent on withdrawal.

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.
