Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt an open preliminary hearing in Edinburgh on 20 August 2024, Employment Judge McFatridge refused the claimant's application to amend her claim to add age discrimination, sex discrimination and disability discrimination. The judgment records that the claimant was represented by Mr Tweedie and the respondent by Mr Singer, and that oral reasons were given at the hearing.
The judge said the application was determined by reference to the established amendment principles, including Selkent Bus Company v Moore (1996) UKEAT 151, and by balancing the injustice and hardship of allowing or refusing the amendments. The judgment also records that the claimant's sole remaining claim was unfair dismissal, which was to be dealt with at a final hearing. No monetary award was made and the discrimination claims were not determined on the merits.

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.
