Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At a preliminary hearing on 1 November 2022 before Employment Judge Craft, the Second Claimant withdrew her claim against the Second Respondent, Mrs Summers, in Case No. 3300023/2022, and that claim was dismissed upon withdrawal. The Second Claimant also withdrew her disability discrimination complaint against the First Respondent alleging a failure to make reasonable adjustments contrary to s.20 Equality Act 2010, and that claim was dismissed upon withdrawal.

Employment Judge Craft refused the First Claimant's application to amend her claim to add a detriment complaint for making protected disclosures under s.47B Employment Rights Act 1996. The judgment records no merits determination or monetary award.

The consolidation of the proceedings was discontinued, the final hearing listed for 9 to 11 January 2023 was vacated, and the First and Second Claimants' complaints of unfair constructive dismissal were to be listed separately for a judge alone at a later date.

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.
