Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal recorded that the claimant had been ordered, following a preliminary hearing on 23 March 2023, to pay two deposits of £50 each within 14 days of the order being sent to the parties. The order was sent to the claimant on 3 April 2023, and the claimant did not pay either deposit.

As a result, the tribunal struck out the complaints for which deposit orders had been made: harassment related to age, and claims relying on detriments D1, D2 or D3 alleged to have occurred on 9 September 2020. The judgment stated that the remaining complaints, for which deposit orders had not been made, would proceed to be heard on the listed dates.

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.
