Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the preliminary hearing on 30 August 2022, Employment Judge Ahmed held that the Claimants had not failed to comply with the unless order made on 12 January 2022, so their claims were not automatically struck out. The tribunal then dealt with the respondent's strike-out applications and deposit order requests on the papers before it, sitting alone by CVP at Leicester.
The Second Claimant's equal pay complaint was struck out because the tribunal considered it had no reasonable prospect of success. By contrast, the respondent's applications to strike out the Second Claimant's indirect sex discrimination complaint and indirect age discrimination complaint were dismissed, and the application to strike out the First Claimant's indirect age discrimination complaint was also dismissed. In each of those surviving claims, the respondent's application for a deposit order was refused.
The judgment did not determine the merits of the surviving discrimination complaints. The final order was that the cases would be listed for a further telephone preliminary hearing to give case management directions.

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.
