Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dealt only with one pleaded complaint: direct disability discrimination based on the allegation that the respondent deliberately delayed reaching and giving a grievance decision to the claimant. A preliminary hearing on 16 May 2024 resulted in an order requiring the claimant to pay a £100 deposit by 13 June 2024, and the order was sent on 30 May 2024.
The claimant did not pay the deposit. The tribunal therefore struck out the direct disability discrimination complaint under rule 39(4) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The judgment states that this did not affect any other allegations in the claim.

The order was sent on 30 May 2024 and the deposit was not paid by 13 June 2024, so rule 39(4) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 was applied. | Struck out | Disability | — |

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.
