Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment records that four complaints were dismissed on withdrawal: automatic unfair dismissal for asserting a statutory right, automatic unfair dismissal for making a flexible working request, automatic unfair dismissal for whistleblowing, and indirect discrimination by association.
The judgment also records that three remaining complaints were to proceed to a hearing: automatic unfair dismissal for taking or seeking to take leave for family reasons, unlawful deductions from wages, and direct discrimination by association. No liability findings or remedy determinations are recorded in this judgment.

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.
