Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

By letter dated 14 July 2021, the tribunal gave Mr J Stedman an opportunity to make representations on why his unfair dismissal claim should not be struck out, because he had been employed for less than two years. He replied on 16 July 2021.

The tribunal found that he remained unqualified to bring the unfair dismissal claim and struck it out. No monetary remedy was recorded for that claim in this judgment.

The judgment states that the sexual orientation discrimination claim would continue, and that the parties would be notified of dates for a case management discussion and then a final hearing in due course.

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.
