Facts
The claimant brought claims against his former employer including breach of contract, whistleblowing detriment, and disability discrimination.

The respondent consented to their withdrawal without further recourse.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the claimant's breach of contract and whistleblowing detriment claims by consent on withdrawal by the claimant.
