Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out Richard Sisley’s claims of direct sex discrimination and unfair dismissal. It did not adjudicate the substantive merits of either claim.
Following a preliminary hearing on 2 December 2025, the claimant was ordered to pay a deposit of £40 per allegation. The order was sent to him on 30 December 2025, but he failed to pay the deposit; the claims were therefore struck out under rule 40(4) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. No remedy was awarded.

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.
