Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At a preliminary hearing on 29 January 2024 before Employment Judge Brewer, the tribunal dismissed Ms Harding's claim for breach of section 80G ERA 1996 under section 80H(2). No financial award was made on that claim.

The tribunal then considered allegations a to m under section 48 ERA 1996 in relation to the right under section 47E(1)(a) ERA. Allegations a to g were dismissed as out of time and outside the tribunal's jurisdiction; allegation k was dismissed under Rule 37 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013 because it had no reasonable prospect of success; allegations h, i, j and l were allowed to proceed to a full hearing if the claimant paid a £250 deposit per allegation; and allegation m was dismissed under section 47E(2) ERA. A separate deposit order was made.

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.
