Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At a hearing on 17 March 2022, Employment Judge Ficklin considered the respondent's application after hearing from Ms Hilary Bashforth. The tribunal struck out the claim under Rule 37(1)(a) on the basis that it had no reasonable prospect of success.

The judgment records that the hearing took place on a remote video platform and that neither party objected to that format. The reasons for the decision were given orally at the hearing, and no written reasons were provided unless requested in writing within 14 days of the judgment being sent to the parties.

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.
