Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Broughton at Birmingham on 4 September 2019. The claimant was in person and the respondent was represented by Mr J Howarth, solicitor. No lay members are listed, and the judgment contains no merits decision on the underlying discrimination complaint.
The tribunal decided that it was just and equitable to extend time so that the claimant’s sex discrimination claim could proceed. The claim concerned the promotion of a male colleague on 6 August 2018. The judgment states that the claim will be heard at the full merits hearing already listed.
No remedy was awarded in this judgment, and the text does not record any findings on liability for discrimination beyond the extension of time decision.

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.
