Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing in Manchester before Employment Judge Batten, sitting alone, the respondent applied to strike out the claim brought by L B Hayes against Equilibrium Health Care Limited. The judgment records that the respondent was represented by counsel and the claimant was represented by counsel.
The tribunal refused the respondent's application for strike out. No substantive liability findings are recorded in the judgment text, and it does not decide the underlying unfair dismissal or discrimination claims on their merits. No remedy was awarded in the judgment.

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.
