Claimant v Mix Diversity Developers Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant withdrew the whistleblowing detriment claims under section 47B of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and they were dismissed by the tribunal on withdrawal.
Facts
Ms J Darko brought claims against three respondents: Mix Diversity Developers Limited, Hayley Barnard, and Shoal Projects Limited. The claims included whistleblowing detriment allegations under section 47B ERA 1996 and other unspecified claims. The claimant withdrew the whistleblowing detriment claims and the Third Respondent (Shoal Projects Limited) was removed from the proceedings.
Decision
Employment Judge Youngs dismissed the whistleblowing detriment claims on withdrawal under rule 52 and removed the Third Respondent from the proceedings. The remainder of the claimant's claims against the First and Second Respondents proceed to hearing.
Practical note
This is a procedural judgment reflecting the claimant's strategic decision to narrow her claims by withdrawing the whistleblowing allegations and removing one respondent, while proceeding with other claims.
