Ms G Walsh, In-house Solicitor CASE MANAGEMENT SUMMARY

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The claimant presented her ET1 on 12 June 2018. At this preliminary hearing the tribunal recorded that the disability discrimination claim had been withdrawn and was therefore dismissed. No monetary remedy was awarded at this stage.

The judge summarised the pleaded factual case as including a move from the domiciliary review team to older adults around 31 July 2017, followed by an asserted lack of induction, training or support and complaints about performance that led to capability management on 1 December 2017. The claimant's case was said to involve race discrimination and victimisation as well as the withdrawn disability claim.

This hearing did not determine liability on the race or victimisation issues. The tribunal noted that the ET1 did not identify the Equality Act provisions relied on or why, and it directed further and better particulars, an amended claim, and a schedule of loss. The judge also allowed the claimant to amend to include post-employment matters, including the constructive unfair dismissal point mentioned in the hearing, and parked the respondent's strike out or deposit application for later consideration.

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.
