Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Bartlett gave a strike-out judgment on 25 October 2018. The claimant’s claims were struck out under rule 37 on the basis that they had no reasonable prospects of success and/or the Tribunal had no jurisdiction because they were out of time.
The judgment struck out the direct discrimination and harassment claims relating to verbal comments made in 2014. It also struck out the s.15 Equality Act 2010 claim alleging unfavourable treatment because of something arising in consequence of disability, because the claimant could not identify the unfavourable treatment or the something arising in consequence of disability.
The s.19 Equality Act 2010 indirect disability discrimination claim, limited to the termination of the claimant’s employment, was also struck out. The tribunal recorded that the claimant could not identify the PCP relied on. No remedy was awarded.

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.
