Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal wrote to the claimant on 06 November 2025 warning that it was considering striking out part of the claim. The warning related to the gender reassignment discrimination complaint, which appeared to disclose no details of the complaint under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024.

The claimant did not reply or request a hearing. Employment Judge Harfield was satisfied that the grounds for striking out that part of the claim applied and that strike-out was in accordance with the overriding objective in Rule 3. The judgment struck out that part of the claim only and stated that the rest of the claim was not affected.

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.
