Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that all claims in the case were dismissed on their withdrawal by the claimant. For claims made in the law of contract, the dismissal was recorded on the basis that the claimant intended to pursue damages for breach of contract and/or sums due under one or more contracts in the county court or High Court, and that withdrawal of the tribunal claims did not by itself preclude such proceedings.
The tribunal found that the claims had been unreasonably brought and pursued within rule 74(2)(a) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. The claimant was ordered to pay the respondent GBP 500 as a contribution to the respondent's costs incurred in defending the claims.

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.
