Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At Watford on 10 September 2020, Employment Judge Wyeth dealt with two case numbers, 3335543/2018 and 3302753/2020. The judgment records that the claimant's disability discrimination complaint relating to any lumbar spine condition in claim 3335543/2018 was dismissed upon withdrawal.

The same disability discrimination complaint was then pursued again in claim 3302753/2020, and the tribunal struck it out as an abuse of process under rule 37(1)(a) and (b) of the Employment Tribunal Rules 2013 because it was an attempt to revive the withdrawn claim. The claimant's victimisation complaint, covering placement on a performance action plan from 27 June 2016, removal of annualised working hours around the same date, and referral to Occupational Health on 28 June 2016, was also dismissed upon withdrawal. No monetary 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.
