Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was an open preliminary hearing before Employment Judge C Hyde sitting alone at London South on 22 May 2019. The tribunal struck out the claimant's claims alleging race discrimination under the Equality Act 2010, breach of contract in respect of notice pay, and unfair dismissal by reason of having made protected disclosures under section 103A of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
The written judgment states that the strike-out did not affect the claimant's complaint of disability discrimination in relation to his dismissal. No remedy was awarded in this judgment, and the note records that reasons were given orally at the hearing, with written reasons not to be provided unless requested.

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.
