Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing in Cambridge on 5 April 2019, Employment Judge Finlay, sitting alone, dealt with claims brought by Mr R Dias and Mrs M Dias against Openwork Limited. The claimants were represented by Mrs M Dias and the respondent by a solicitor.
The tribunal struck out the claimants' unfair dismissal complaints under Rule 37 on the basis that they stood no reasonable chance of success. It also struck out the claimants' complaints that they were entitled to 'other payments' for the same reason.
The first claimant's complaint in relation to arrears of pay was dismissed following its withdrawal by the first claimant. The judgment records that the remaining complaints would proceed to final hearing. No monetary remedy was awarded in this decision.

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.
