Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at East London Hearing Centre by Cloud Video Platform on 26 April 2024 before Employment Judge Gardiner. The claimant, Malcolm Hampton, did not appear; the respondent, Essex County Council, was represented by Mr Tom Gillie, counsel.
The tribunal did not determine the underlying merits of any discrimination or wages complaint. Instead, it struck out the claim under Employment Tribunal Rule 37(1)(b) because the manner in which the proceedings had been conducted had been unreasonable.
No remedy was awarded and no substantive findings were made on liability beyond the strike-out decision.

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.
