Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing in Watford before Employment Judge Bedeau on 22 January 2020. The respondent, represented by Mr J Ward, Solicitor, applied for a strike-out order on the basis that the claims had not been actively pursued and that a fair trial was not possible.
The tribunal refused the respondent's application. The judgment records no substantive findings on the underlying claims and no liability decision on the merits. No monetary award was made in this judgment.

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.
