Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Connolly sitting alone in Birmingham by CVP on 22 April 2021. The tribunal decided limitation issues only and did not determine the substantive merits of the claims.
The claims of unfair dismissal, unauthorised deductions from wages, and breach of contract were found to have been presented outside the statutory time limit, despite it being reasonably practicable to do so, and were dismissed.
The disability discrimination, harassment, and victimisation claims were also found to have been presented outside the statutory three month period from the last act complained of, but the tribunal held that it was just and equitable to permit them to proceed. The tribunal left open for the final hearing whether acts or omissions before the last act complained of formed part of conduct extending over a period, whether any were out of time, and whether time should be extended in respect of some or all of them.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
