Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Wright struck out Ms A Boahene's claim against International Planned Parenthood Federation by judgment dated 8 October 2020. The tribunal held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the claim because the claimant had not engaged in early conciliation via Acas before presenting it.
The reasons recorded that the claimant's written submissions did not explain why the early conciliation requirement did not apply on her case. The judge also noted that the compliance date was "before" 11 August 2020, not on 11 August 2020. No substantive findings were made on the underlying employment claims, and no monetary award was recorded.

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.
