Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge J Farrall gave judgment on 17 March 2026. The complaints of failure to pay notice pay and breach of contract were dismissed after the claimant withdrew them. The claim against the second respondent, Dr Diane Bray, was also dismissed following withdrawal.
The claimant's application to amend the unfair dismissal claim to a claim of automatic unfair dismissal contrary to s103A of the Employment Rights Act 1996, arising from alleged protected disclosures, was allowed. The respondent's application to strike out the claim and its application for a deposit order were both dismissed. The remaining automatic unfair dismissal claim was listed to proceed to hearing on 22-24 September 2026, and this judgment did not decide the merits of that claim.

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.
