Case Summary

The claimant brought claims for sexual harassment, victimisation, whistleblowing detriment, health and safety detriment, and unfair dismissal against the respondent. The tribunal heard evidence over 8 days in April 2026 and deliberated in May 2026. All claims were dismissed as not well-founded in this liability judgment.

Why this outcome?

Claim not well-founded

The tribunal made findings of fact on the balance of probabilities and applied the relevant legal tests for each claim, concluding that none of the claims were established. The judgment was a liability-only hearing with remedy to be determined separately if any claims had succeeded.
