Mr R Bryce v Integrated Facilities Management Bolton Limited CERTIFICATE OF CORRECTION Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 Under the provisions of — 2024

This is a reserved judgment from a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Horne held on 17 November 2023 (CVP) and considered further on 5 April 2024. The respondent had applied to strike out the claim and, in the alternative, sought a deposit order. The judge declined to strike out the claim. The reasons also explain a separately issued deposit order. A subsequent certificate of correction under rule 69 was issued on 10 May 2024 amending paragraph 60 of the reasons by consent; the original judgment was sent to the parties on 16 April 2024.

The claims considered were a reference under section 11 ERA 1996 regarding written particulars, a complaint of protected disclosure detriment under sections 47B and 48 ERA 1996, and a complaint of failure to make reasonable adjustments under sections 20, 21 and 39 of the Equality Act 2010. It is common ground that the claimant never worked for the respondent; the dispute concerns the period before any work began. The judge concluded that the protected disclosure detriment and failure to make adjustments complaints had little reasonable prospect of success but were not so hopeless as to warrant strike out.
