Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing on 28 October 2022, Employment Judge Salter held that the claimant's claim could not proceed because it was estopped on the basis of cause of action estoppel, or alternatively was an abuse of process under the principle in Henderson v Henderson. The judgment therefore dismissed the claim.
The tribunal also made a costs order requiring the claimant to pay the respondent's costs of £1,491.40. The written reasons note that the judgment was given orally at the hearing and no further written reasons would be provided unless requested 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.
