Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing on 8 June 2026, Employment Judge O’Donnell allowed Dr Alan McManus to amend section 8.2 of his ET1 by deleting the word “harassment” from paragraph 1 and substituting revised wording in paragraphs 6, 7 and 8. The proceedings named Argyll & Bute Council, Rachel Binnie, Louise Lawson and Elaine Sullivan as respondents.
The tribunal refused permission to add a new paragraph 9 to section 8.2. The judgment records that it was given orally with summary reasons, but does not set out those reasons or the proposed wording. It determines the amendment application only and records no substantive claim outcome or monetary award. The judgment was sent to the parties on 15 June 2026.

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.
