Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt an open preliminary hearing held in Norwich on 18 April 2023, Employment Judge Postle, sitting alone, considered the claimant's unfair dismissal claims against Consol Tanning Limited, t/a Consol. The tribunal held that the claims had no reasonable prospect of success and dismissed them.
As a result of that dismissal, the hearing listed at the Reading Employment Tribunal for 7 and 8 August 2023 was vacated. The judgment records no monetary award or remedy because the claims did not proceed to a substantive final hearing.

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.
