Help finding a decision

I can’t remember the name of a decision, help me out… please!

A couple of years back there was a decision where a lady had gone into JCP and given them a letter saying “what can I claim?” and after a lot of legal wrangling it was decided, at the Court of Appeal IIRC that the letter could constitute a claim for (I think) IB.

It sticks in my head because I dropped it in front of the Judge who’s decision had been set aside while they were sat on the First tier and it was with a smirk they brought that to my attention; I think they thought I knew but I didn’t.

I keep thinking “Francovich” but searches reveal nowt.

Can anyone remember?
