Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a telephone hearing on 1 July 2022 before Employment Judge R Lewis, the tribunal made a judgment by consent dismissing a number of the claimant's claims after withdrawal. The dismissed claims were the direct discrimination claim because of marital status; the direct sex discrimination claims and sex-related harassment claims in respect of detriments D1, D2, D2a, D3, D4, D11, D12, D12a and D19; the direct age discrimination and age-related harassment claims, save for the claims relating to detriments D2 and D19; the indirect race and sex discrimination claim in PCP1; and the indirect age discrimination claim in PCP2 and PCP3.
The order recorded that all other claims continued. In particular, the claimant continued to pursue PCP1 in respect of indirect age discrimination and PCP2 and PCP3 in respect of indirect race/sex discrimination. The judgment contains no merits findings on the remaining issues and records 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.
