JUDGMENT

[1]The Claimant’s claims of disability discrimination (as set out in the direction letter of Employment Judge Livesey dated 25 January 2018) and breach of contract fail and are dismissed.

[2]The Claimant withdrew her claims of harassment relating to alleged bullying by the Respondent (as set out in paragraph 14.1.1 of Employment Judge Mulvaney’s order of 5 January 2018) and they are therefore accordingly dismissed.

[3]The Claimant is ordered to pay the Respondent’s costs in the sum of £4800.

[4]The Claimant has paid fees in connection with this claim. In R (on the application of UNISON) v Lord Chancellor

[2017] UKSC 51

, the Supreme Court decided that it was unlawful for Her Majesty's Courts and Tribunals Service (HMCTS) to charge fees of this nature. HMCTS has undertaken to repay such fees. In these circumstances I shall draw to the attention of HMCTS that this is a case in which fees have been paid and are therefore to be refunded to the Claimant. The details of the repayment scheme are a matter for HMCTS. 1 judgment re 2013 rules Case Number: 1400304/2017
