Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt this preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Corrigan at Ashford, the tribunal recorded that the Claimant's unfair dismissal complaint and complaint about failure to provide written particulars of employment were dismissed upon withdrawal. The tribunal also recorded that the Claimant's contract claims were withdrawn, and that they were not dismissed under rule 52(a) because he wished to reserve the right to pursue them in the civil courts and the tribunal was satisfied there was a legitimate reason for doing so.
The tribunal further held that it was just and equitable to extend time for the Claimant's age discrimination and harassment claims. The extracted text states that claims dated on or after 14 November 2017 were therefore in time and within the tribunal's jurisdiction, but it also records the extension as running to 28 March 2017, which is internally inconsistent in the text.
The Respondent's application for costs was refused. No monetary award was made in the decision.

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.
