Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant applied on 22 and 23 May 2025 for reconsideration of a judgment sent to the parties on 16 June 2025. The tribunal refused the application, finding there was no reasonable prospect of the original decision being varied or revoked.
The tribunal recorded that the claimant had orally withdrawn the direct discrimination claims at the hearing on 22 May 2025. It found that the withdrawal brought those claims to an immediate end under rule 50, and that rule 51 required a judgment dismissing the relevant claims following the withdrawal because neither exception in rule 51 applied.
The tribunal held that setting aside the judgment would not reinstate the withdrawn claims. It would only remove the prohibition on commencing a further claim in respect of the same or substantially the same complaint. The tribunal therefore confirmed the judgment and refused reconsideration under rule 70.

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. See full methodology.
