Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The claim was issued in the Midlands East Employment Tribunals on 1 December 2021. The respondent, Ian Herring, failed to present a valid response on time, and Employment Judge M Butler decided that a determination could properly be made under rule 21 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013.

The judgment records that the claim succeeds, but the extracted text does not specify the individual heads of claim or any substantive factual findings on liability. Remedy was not decided in this judgment and was listed for a Remedy Hearing on 5 May 2022. The respondent was permitted to participate in that hearing only to the extent allowed by the Employment Judge.

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.
