JUDGMENT
[1]The claim is dismissed upon withdrawal by the Claimant, confidential terms of settlement having been agreed between the parties;[2]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 the 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 are a matter for HMCTS.
