Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a hearing in Newcastle upon Tyne on 17 October 2022, Employment Judge Rodger sat alone and considered the Claimant's unfair dismissal claim and direct sex discrimination claim. The tribunal held that each claim had no reasonable prospect of success.
Both claims were struck out pursuant to rule 37(1)(a). No remedy was awarded because the claims did not proceed to a merits hearing.

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.
