Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that, by letter dated 29 September 2022, the claimant was given an opportunity to make representations or request a hearing on why the complaint of maternity and pregnancy discrimination under section 18 Equality Act 2010 should not be struck out.
The stated reason was that the complaint had no reasonable prospect of success, the claimant being male. The claimant failed to make sufficient representations as to why the complaint should not be struck out, and the tribunal struck out that complaint. The judgment states that the claimant's remaining claims remained listed for hearing on 13 December 2022.

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.
