An employment tribunal brought by Look East journalist Sally Chidzoy against the BBC concluded abruptly on Monday with the claim struck out.
The move came after almost a day of behind closed doors discussions on Monday between the legal representatives of all parties.
But why the case at Cambridge Magistrates Court was struck out remained unclear on Tuesday.
The BBC has declined to say, and Miss Chidzoy's lawyers have not commented.
The Employment Tribunal Centre in Huntingdonshire said the panel had four weeks to send them their judgement at which point the reasons should become known.
