Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dismissed the claims made against Mr A Rodrigo, Mr M Vincent and Mr P Bryant.
The reason given was that the proceedings were commenced without the claimant having obtained an early conciliation certificate within the meaning of section 18A(4) of the Employment Tribunals Act 1996 in relation to those respondents before presenting the claim form. The tribunal stated that the claims were therefore precluded by section 18A(1) and (7) of that Act.

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.
