Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal considered the second respondent's application dated 14 February 2020 for reconsideration of the order made on 22 January 2020 and promulgated on 4 February 2020, which had joined B as a second respondent in these proceedings. Employment Judge Johnson refused the application.
The judge said the grounds advanced for reconsideration, including the time point, had already been fully aired by Ms Besnard of counsel for the second respondent at the hearing on 22 January 2020. The reasons raised in the reconsideration letter were properly before the tribunal when the original joinder decision was made.
The application was refused because the judge was not satisfied that reconsideration was in the interests of justice and concluded that it had no reasonable prospect of success. No substantive liability issues or remedy were determined in this 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.
