Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt an open preliminary hearing on 6 July 2023, Employment Judge V. Jones considered the claimant Miss M Jackson's claims against North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College. The tribunal dealt only with limitation and jurisdiction. It found that the direct race discrimination claims under section 13 Equality Act 2010 had been presented outside the section 123(1)(a) time limit and that it was not just and equitable to extend time under section 123(1)(b). Those claims were therefore struck out for want of jurisdiction.
The tribunal reached the same conclusion on the claimant's claims that she had been treated less favourably contrary to regulation 3 of the Fixed Term Employees (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2002. It held that those claims were out of time under regulation 7(2), that it was not just and equitable to extend time under regulation 7(3), and that it therefore had no jurisdiction to hear them. No remedy was awarded.

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.
