Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Camp on 27 April 2021 in cases 2602555/2020 and 2603564/2020. The tribunal refused Ms Regan's rule 13 application for reconsideration of the rejection of the claim in 2603564/2020 against the first respondent because it was made outside the 14-day time limit, and the tribunal said it would be contrary to the overriding objective to extend time.
Following that refusal, the tribunal held that there was no unfair dismissal complaint before it. It refused the claimant's application to amend case 2603564/2020 so as to put an unfair dismissal complaint before the tribunal, held that the case had no reasonable prospects of success, and struck it out on that basis.
By consent, the tribunal recorded that all complaints made against the first respondent in case 2602555/2020 were now being made against the second respondent without the need for formal amendment. It dismissed the claim against the first respondent because the first respondent no longer exists, and summarised that the only claim still before the tribunal was the disability discrimination claim against the second respondent. The second respondent's application for the costs of the hearing was refused.

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.
