Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

This was a reconsideration judgment, not a merits decision on the substantive employment claims. The claimant applied on 27 April 2020 to reconsider the decision sent on 23 January 2020 refusing her application to amend the claim. The amendment issue had been raised at a case management hearing on 2 August 2019 and dealt with on paper after written representations from both sides. The claimant said the amendment should have been allowed to add dismissal-related claims, including disability discrimination, and raised points about notice pay, ACAS certificates, warnings, and her ability to bring proceedings in time.

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.
