Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant presented a claim on 29 October 2020 described as direct and possibly indirect age discrimination. An Employment Judge had directed that the case be listed for a preliminary hearing to decide whether it had been presented out of time, as it was presented around 18 months after the claimant's employment ended.
Before the preliminary hearing was listed, the claimant wrote to the Tribunal on 18 March 2021 withdrawing her claim. A judgment dismissing the claim on withdrawal was issued on 13 April 2021.
The claimant applied on 14 August 2021 for reconsideration of the judgment dismissing the claim upon withdrawal, saying her claim was being considered for legal representation by Unison's solicitors. The Tribunal refused reconsideration because there was no reasonable prospect of the original decision being varied or revoked; it found the withdrawal was clear and unconditional and that reopening the proceedings was not in the interests of justice.

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.
