Age of litigation
While I agree with the general tenor of your article “Employers warned over serial ageism litigants”,there is another view to consider.

I know one person who has registered such claims, with some justification. As a mature student, he took his Law Society exams to become a solicitor. He did well but found it impossible to obtain a training contract. In desperation, he filed claims against several of the law firms who rejected him out of hand.
