JUDGMENT

[1]The tribunal has no jurisdiction to consider the claimant’s complaint under the Equality Act 2010 because the claimant compromised her claim in a contract with the assistance of a conciliation officer.[2]The claimant’s complaints under Article 141 of the Treaty of Rome and the Equal Pay Directive 75/117 are struck out on the following grounds: 2.1. The claimant acted unreasonably in pursuing them, having entered into a contract to compromise them (whether enforceable or not); 2.2. The claimant has not actively pursued them; and 2.3. The complaints have no reasonable prospect of success, because the claimant cannot explain the basis upon which she would pursue them. Case nos. 2101518/2011 2403756/2013[3]The claim is therefore dismissed.
