Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing was listed by the Tribunal of its own motion to consider whether the claim should be struck out because of the claimant's conduct of proceedings. The Tribunal decided that the claim would not be struck out because a fair trial was still possible and such an order would not be proportionate.
The respondent applied at the hearing for the allegations to be struck out as inherently improbable and having no reasonable prospects of success. The Tribunal refused that application because the hearing had not been arranged to consider strike out on that basis, and also refused a prior written application for a deposit order on the same basis, noting the public importance of a public hearing in discrimination cases. The claims were directed to proceed to a hearing on 11 November 2025.

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.
