Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out Jodie Blackwell's complaint of constructive discriminatory dismissal under s.39(7) EA 2010. The judgment does not state the protected characteristic relied upon.
Following a preliminary hearing on 21 May 2026, the claimant was ordered to pay a £400 deposit. The order was sent on 22 May 2026, but the deposit was not paid. The complaint was therefore struck out under rule 40(4) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. No monetary remedy was recorded; the £400 was a deposit, not an award.

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.
