Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a short preliminary judgment heard at Manchester by CVP before Judge Cowx sitting alone on 15 November 2022. The claimant, Mr B Nelson, was unrepresented and the respondent was represented by Ms H Lunney, solicitor. The only substantive issue decided was the respondent’s procedural application in relation to the claimant’s direct race discrimination claim.
The tribunal refused the respondent’s application to strike out the claim of direct race discrimination. It also refused the respondent’s application for a deposit order against that same claim. No findings were made on liability for race discrimination, and no remedy was assessed in this judgment.
The written record states that reasons had been given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days. The judgment was sent to the parties on 21 November 2022.

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.
