Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis is a judgment on partial withdrawal under rule 52. The Claimant, Mrs Claire Spinks, withdrew her complaints of unfair dismissal and sex discrimination against Priory Central Services Ltd, and the tribunal dismissed those complaints accordingly. The Claimant's remaining claims continue.
The tribunal also made a preparation time order requiring the Respondent to pay the Claimant £540, calculated on the basis of 12 hours of preparation time, payable within 14 days. The judgment does not set out the reasoning underlying the preparation time order on its face.
The hearing was before Employment Judge Young sitting with non-legal members Mr D Bean and Mr A Scott at Watford Employment Tribunal on 11 March 2026. The Claimant appeared as a litigant in person; the Respondent was represented by Ms Jessica Franklin of counsel.

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.
