Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal considered the claimant's age discrimination and age-related harassment complaints, including allegations concerning a supervisor, failures to investigate complaints, alleged toilet and water restrictions, and transfer to a different route. The respondent argued that the age-related claims should be struck out, including because several matters had already been determined in earlier proceedings.
The Tribunal found that some matters were barred by issue estoppel or cause of action estoppel, and that the claimant had not advanced a sufficient basis for linking the alleged treatment to age. It held that the claimant's assertions were based on speculation or his own conviction and did not satisfy the initial burden of proof.
The Tribunal concluded that there was no reasonable prospect of the age discrimination and age-related harassment claims succeeding and struck them out under Rule 37. It stated that the listed hearing would proceed only in relation to the victimisation claim concerning transfer to a different route.

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.
