Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing in public before Employment Judge Clarkson at Bristol by CVP on 16 April 2025. The tribunal made a single dispositive decision: the claim was struck out under rule 38(1)(a) because it had no reasonable prospects of success, the reason given being that the tribunal did not have jurisdiction to consider the claims brought.
No liability findings or remedy assessment were made. The judgment records only the strike-out decision, and there is no monetary award or apportionment of compensation in the decision.

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.
