Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that Mrs M Harding was not dismissed unfairly. Her claim of unfair dismissal against Aspire Academies Trust therefore did not succeed.
The tribunal found that the claim had no reasonable prospect of success and was pursued unreasonably. Mrs Harding was ordered to pay £1,500 to Aspire Academies Trust as a contribution towards its costs; this was a costs order rather than compensation awarded on the claim. Full reasons for the judgment and costs order were given orally at the hearing, and no written reasons were requested at that hearing.

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.
