John Bowers KC, sitting as a Deputy High Court Judge, dismissed the appeal as the ET had not erred in law and the decision was not perverse. The tribunal has the option to strike out if there was no causation pleaded in respect of the sole person who was alleged to have discriminated against the claimant. While he found it was unfortunate that the claimant had been put on the spot there had been many missed opportunities for her to clarify what her case was on this point, but she had not done so.
