LISA PHILLIPS
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Midgley struck out Lisa Phillips's complaint of sexual orientation discrimination against JN Baker Ltd trading as Bakers Dolphin Coach Travel and Holidays. The judgment, approved on 21 July 2026, found that the claim form disclosed no discernible sexual orientation discrimination claim and contained no facts or allegations consistent with one.
The tribunal found that this part of the claim could not sensibly be responded to and that the grounds for striking it out under Rule 38 applied. It also found that striking it out accorded with the overriding objective in Rule 3. The rest of the claim was unaffected. The judgment recorded 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.
