Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was an open preliminary hearing at Watford on 11 January 2023 before Employment Judge Wyeth, with the claimant appearing in person and the respondent represented by counsel. The tribunal recorded that the claimant’s equal pay claim was withdrawn at the hearing and therefore dismissed upon withdrawal.
The tribunal struck out the claimant’s unfair dismissal claim and his other disability discrimination complaints. It held that those claims were out of time and, where relevant, there was no reasonable prospect of the claimant establishing that they had been presented in time, having regard to s123 Equality Act 2010.
The tribunal preserved only the complaint of discrimination arising from disability under s15 Equality Act 2010, limited to the dismissal. After the preliminary ruling, the claimant wrote to the tribunal on 23 January 2023 withdrawing that remaining claim, and it was dismissed upon withdrawal. The tribunal then recorded that there were no further issues to determine and the case was concluded.

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.
