Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At a preliminary hearing on 11 September 2023, Employment Judge Abbott amended the respondent's name by consent to Moss Bros Group Limited. The tribunal struck out the complaints of direct race discrimination, direct religion discrimination, harassment related to race and religion, and victimisation under rule 37(1)(e) on the basis that a fair hearing was no longer possible. The direct discrimination complaint was said to include the equal pay claim identified in the ET1 and allegations concerning Sunday work.

The complaints concerning notice pay, arrears of pay and other payments were dismissed upon withdrawal by the claimant. The unfair dismissal and holiday pay complaints were not determined at this hearing and were listed to proceed to final hearing on 5 to 9 February 2024 before an Employment Judge sitting alone.

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.
