Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Claimant did not attend the telephone hearing. The Respondent was represented by Ms Samantha Mackie, solicitor, before Employment Judge Gardiner at East London Hearing Centre on 11 July 2022.
The Tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal claim because the same claim had already been determined by the Tribunal in a Judgment dated 6 January 2022. It struck out the race discrimination complaints as an abuse of process because they duplicated complaints already made in case 3202629/21, or complaints which could have been made in those proceedings.
The Tribunal further stated that, had those claims not been struck out for those reasons, they would have been struck out because the Tribunal had no jurisdiction to hear them, as the claim form was issued after the relevant statutory time limits had expired.

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.
