Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at Liverpool on 17 January 2024 before Employment Judge Ainscough sitting alone. The tribunal dealt with the matter on a strike-out basis rather than after a full liability hearing.
The claimant's harassment claim related to sexual orientation was struck out. The tribunal found there was no reasonable prospect of success in proving that the allegations amounted to conduct extending over a period, and it held that it would not be just and equitable to extend time so that the allegations could proceed to a final hearing.
The claimant's harassment claim related to age, concerning his line manager Michael Thompson, was also struck out on the same basis. The tribunal again found no reasonable prospect of success in showing conduct extending over a period, and it declined to extend time.
The breach of contract claim, based on an alleged failure by the respondent to follow its own disciplinary procedure, was struck out because it had no reasonable prospect of success. No remedy was awarded.

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.
