Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningOn 17 July 2023, at Watford by video, Employment Judge R Russell dealt with the parties' applications in this case. The Respondent's application to strike out the claim was dismissed.
The Claimant's proposed amendments were dealt with individually. The tribunal refused leave to add constructive unfair dismissal under the Employment Rights Act 1996 and victimisation under section 27 of the Equality Act 2010. It also refused the amendment seeking to add dismissal as unfavourable treatment to the discrimination arising from disability complaint under section 15.
The tribunal granted the amendment to add harassment under section 26 of the Equality Act 2010. It also granted, to the extent necessary, clarification of the existing direct discrimination and discrimination arising from disability complaints so that they included the matters set out in paragraphs 35-37 of the amendment application, save for paragraph 37(xviii). The judgment records no liability findings on the merits and no monetary award.

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.
