Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the preliminary hearing in Manchester by video on 1 March 2022, before Employment Judge Batten sitting alone, the tribunal dealt only with case management and amendment issues. The claimant's complaint about notice pay was dismissed because she withdrew it. The complaint of wrongful dismissal based on an allegation of breach of contractual procedures was struck out, and the complaint of direct age discrimination was also struck out.
The claimant's application to amend her claim to add harassment because of age was refused. The tribunal did, however, permit amendment to include a complaint of unauthorised deductions from wages in respect of overtime worked on Saturday 8 May 2021. The judgment records that the remaining complaints of unauthorised deductions from wages and failure to allow the claimant to be accompanied at the dismissal meeting would proceed to a final hearing listed for 26 September 2022, subject to a deposit order on the accompaniment complaint. The judgment was sent to the parties on 7 March 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.
