Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a remote hearing before Employment Judge Reid at East London Hearing Centre on 4 January 2021. The Claimant appeared in person and the Respondent was represented by counsel instructed by the Government Legal Service. The tribunal had before it the claim form and correspondence on the tribunal file.
The tribunal identified that the claim was not a discrimination claim against an employer, but a claim falling within Part 3 of the Equality Act 2010, concerning services and public functions. It held that the Employment Tribunal does not have jurisdiction to hear such a claim.
The judgment records that, if there is such a services/public functions discrimination claim, it must be brought in the County Court under section 114 of the Equality Act 2010. After this was explained and discussed with him, the Claimant withdrew his claim because he had not previously appreciated the jurisdictional position.
The claim was therefore dismissed on withdrawal. 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.
