Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal dealt with the matter at a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge McNeill QC on 3 March 2022. The first claim, presented on 17 September 2019, was rejected because it did not comply with s18A(8) of the Employment Tribunals Act 1996. The judgment records that the Claimant did not have a certificate complying with s18A(4) when the claim was presented, the form did not contain an early conciliation number as required by rule 12(1)(c) of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure, and it incorrectly stated that an early conciliation exemption applied.

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.
