Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningBy a letter dated 27 January 2021, the tribunal gave Mr J Brown an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why his claim should not be struck out for having no reasonable prospects of success. The tribunal said that a claim under section 10 of the Employment Relations Act 1999 only arises where an employee has requested to be accompanied, and that the claim form disclosed no cause of action and no request to be accompanied.
Mr Brown did not make written representations, did not make sufficient representations, and did not request a hearing. The tribunal therefore struck out the claim. The judgment does not record any monetary award.

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.
