Cases on this page are identified by first-pass extraction against the locked §4.4 claim-type taxonomy — a judgment enters the disability discrimination caseload if disability discriminationis tagged in its classification output. A single judgment frequently combines multiple claim types, so the same case may appear on more than one claim-type page. Per-claim outcomes come from the second-pass (LLM-assisted) extraction and are recorded for each claim a judgment decides; the success rate counts only claims a tribunal decided on the merits (upheld or dismissed). Award figures are taken from the remedy section of each judgment where present; cases without a quantified award — because the tribunal only determined liability, or because the remedy hearing is pending — are excluded from the compensation figures. Regional splits follow the tribunal's jurisdiction as recorded on gov.uk. Nothing on this page is legal advice or a prediction of any outcome; for any specific matter the gov.uk judgment PDF linked from each case page is the authoritative source.

| 1602180/2023 | 3 March 2025 | Respondent: Mr D Arundel Royal Mail Group Ltd JUDGMENT The claim of trade union detriment (s146 Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992) is struck out. This does not affect the remaining claim of disability discrimination. REASONS 1. By a letter of 7 February 2025, the Tribunal gave the Claimant an opportunity to make representations or to request a hearing as to why the complaint of trade union detriment should not be struck out because it did not have a reasonable prospect of success. 2. The Claimant did not respond by the deadline of 21 February 2025 but his representative confirmed receipt of the strike out warning. As no representations have been made, the Tribunal proceeded to strike out this claim. _________________________________ Employment Judge Sharp Dated: 26 February 2025 ORDER SENT TO THE PARTIES ON 3 March 2025 Kacey O’Brien FOR THE SECRETARY TO EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS | Mr D Arundel Royal Mail Group Ltd | England & Wales | — |
