Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

This was a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Tom Ryan in Manchester on 16 January 2020. The respondent applied to strike out the claim on the ground that it had no reasonable prospect of success, and the tribunal refused that application.

The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing, so written reasons would not be provided unless either party requested them within 14 days of the written record being sent. The record was dated 22 January 2020 and sent to the parties on 7 February 2020.

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.
