Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Adkinson, sitting alone, heard evidence and argument from the parties and considered the bundle and the Tribunal's file at Leicester Hearing Centre on 6 February 2020.
The Tribunal dismissed the respondent's application to strike out the claimant's claims for harassment because of sexual orientation. It also dismissed the respondent's application to strike out the claimant's claims for direct discrimination because of sexual orientation. The judgment records only the outcome of the strike-out applications; written reasons were not provided in the extracted 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.
