Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was an open preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Heap sitting alone on 20 May 2022. The Claimant applied for reconsideration and to amend the claim in several respects, including to plead a new protected disclosure and to add complaints of breach of contract/unauthorised deductions from wages and a section 12(3) Employment Rights Act 1996 complaint. The respondent opposed the applications.
The tribunal refused the Claimant's application for reconsideration made on 18 January 2022. It also refused the application to amend the claim to plead a new protected disclosure, to include complaints of breach of contract/unauthorised deductions from wages in relation to a reduction in salary and commission payments, and to include a complaint under section 12(3) Employment Rights Act 1996. Other amendments made in the particulars of claim sent to the tribunal on 18 January 2022 were granted.
Because the amendment seeking the new protected disclosure was refused, the Claimant's complaints under sections 47B and 103A Employment Rights Act 1996 were struck out under Rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013. The decision did not record any monetary award, and case management orders were attached.

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.
