Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At a hearing on 4 October 2024 before Employment Judge Tegerdine, with the claimant appearing in person and the respondent represented by Mr Purnell, the Tribunal dealt with the respondent’s application to strike out the claimant’s complaints. The written judgment records that the Tribunal heard from both parties and was satisfied that the claimant’s complaints did not have no reasonable prospect of success.

The respondent’s strike-out application was therefore refused. The judgment does not decide the underlying discrimination claims on their merits, and it does not make any findings on liability, remedy, or compensation.

The record states that the decision was given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested. No lay members are listed, and the judgment is limited to the preliminary strike-out application rather than final determination of the age and disability discrimination complaints.

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.
