Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Hyams-Parish sat alone at London South on 21 November 2019. The tribunal dealt only with preliminary disposal of some claims. The wrongful dismissal claim, described as a notice pay claim, was struck out under Rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013 because it had no reasonable prospects of success.
The tribunal also noted that the holiday pay and redundancy pay claims were dismissed following withdrawal by the claimant. No monetary award was made in this judgment.
The judgment states that nothing in it affected the remaining unfair dismissal claim, which was to continue to hearing.

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.
