Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a public preliminary hearing, the Tribunal referred to allegations recorded in an annex to earlier case management orders. Pursuant to Rule 37 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2013, it struck out specified protected disclosure, detriment, harassment, direct race discrimination, and other unparticularised allegations for failure to comply with tribunal directions.
The claimant withdrew allegations of indirect disability discrimination at the hearing. After the hearing, she also withdrew the claim that the respondent failed in its duty to make reasonable adjustments, and the judgment records that all disability discrimination claims were dismissed on withdrawal.
No remedy was awarded in this judgment, and the written judgment records that reasons had been given orally 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.
