Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Nicolle in London Central on 28 October 2019. The Claimant, Miss T Obrien, appeared in person and the Respondent was represented by Ms R Owoso-Agyer of counsel.
The Respondent applied to strike out the claims on the basis that there was no jurisdiction under sections 123(1)(a) and (b) of the Equality Act 2010 and sections 111(2)(a) and (b) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The Tribunal refused that application, so the disability discrimination and unfair dismissal claims were not struck out at this stage.
The Respondent also sought review of the Tribunal’s earlier decision not to reject the claim under Rule 12(1)(b) on the basis that it was not in a form that could sensibly be responded to. That application was also refused. The judgment records no substantive findings on liability and no remedy award.

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.
