Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing by telephone on 21 April 2021 before Employment Judge McNeill QC, the first respondent confirmed that it would accept vicarious liability for any act of discrimination made out against the second respondent. In light of that position, the claimant withdrew the claim against the second respondent, and the tribunal dismissed that claim on withdrawal.
The first respondent's counterclaim against the claimant was also withdrawn and dismissed. The tribunal recorded that the remaining issues would proceed to a full merits hearing. No substantive liability findings or monetary award were made in this preliminary decision.

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.
