Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal found that Mr V Gale-Sides's claims against Abbey DLD Colleges Limited had been validly settled under a settlement agreement dated 1 October 2024. It found that the agreement complied with section 203(3) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and section 147 of the Equality Act 2010.
Employment Judge A. Beale KC therefore held that the Tribunal had no jurisdiction to hear the claims and dismissed them. The judgment did not determine the claims on their merits and records no monetary 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.
