Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the preliminary hearing on 15 May 2020, before Employment Judge JM Wade and by remote hearing, the tribunal recorded that the administrator's consent to the claim progressing was before it. The claimant's application to strike out the response for failure to comply with earlier case management orders and for not pursuing a defence succeeded, and the tribunal issued a Rule 21 judgment.
On liability, the Employment Rights Act unfair dismissal complaint succeeded. The judgment states that this was an unfair dismissal complaint 'having made a protected disclosure'. The Equality Act complaints also succeeded: disability-related harassment, failure to make reasonable adjustments, and section 15 discriminatory dismissal.
On remedy, the claimant did not pursue a full unfair dismissal award and was awarded £350 for loss of statutory rights. For the Equality Act complaints, the tribunal awarded £27,329.20 for lost net weekly pay and pension, £1,093.17 as mid-point interest on financial losses, £15,000 for injury to feelings, £1,200 interest on the injury to feelings award, and £2,000 described as four weeks' gross weekly pay for failure to provide written terms. The total award was £46,972.37, and the tribunal stated that recoupment regulations did not apply.

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.
