Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The judgment addressed preliminary procedural applications. The tribunal refused the Claimant's application to add a claim under section 47B Employment Rights Act 1996 alleging detriment by acts or failures to act on the ground that she had made protected disclosures.

The tribunal granted a separate application to amend text in the ET1, substituting "Corporate and Strategic Partnership Team" for "Place and Public Health" in two columns of the amended ET1. The Respondent was permitted to amend its Response within 28 days if advised to do so.

The substantive complaints of race, religion or belief, and pregnancy and maternity discrimination were not determined in this judgment and remained listed for a full hearing in July 2022. No remedy was awarded.

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.
