Mrs L Briggs v Leelajay Capital Limited and 2 others — 2019

The tribunal refused the claimant’s application dated 10 December 2019 for reconsideration of the reserved judgment sent to the parties on 26 November 2019. It held that there was no arguable basis for reconsideration and that the application was an attempt to re-argue matters that had already been considered and rejected. The judge said the tribunal had reached its conclusions by considering the totality of the evidence and the parties’ submissions.

On the specific point raised about section 18(7) of the Equality Act 2010, the tribunal said the issue was academic because the claimant’s case about a refusal to show her the sales figures was unlikely to have succeeded in any event as a direct sex discrimination complaint. It found that, on the evidence, it was unlikely that the claimant would have been shown the sales figures if she had been male. The application for reconsideration was therefore refused.
