Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At a preliminary hearing held remotely on 1 February 2021, the claimant withdrew her unfair dismissal complaint under section 94 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 after it was accepted that she did not have two years' qualifying service for that claim under section 108 of the 1996 Act. The tribunal therefore dismissed that part of the claim under Rule 52 following withdrawal under Rule 51.

The judgment records that the remaining heads of claim were allegations of unlawful sex discrimination under sections 13, 19, 26 and 27 of the Equality Act 2010. Those claims were expressly said to be unaffected by the withdrawal of the unfair dismissal complaint and were to proceed as separately ordered by the tribunal.

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.
