in person For the v Mr D Browne - solicitor — 2018

At the preliminary hearing on 30 November 2017, Employment Judge Benson held that Warwick University Enterprises Limited was the correct respondent in the proceedings. The claim against the first respondent, Unitemps, was dismissed. The tribunal also recorded that the hearing was limited to preliminary issues and did not decide the merits of the surviving discrimination complaints.

The unfair dismissal claim was dismissed because it was not presented in time and the tribunal found that it had not been reasonably practicable to present it within the time limit. The complaints of disability, race and religion discrimination for the period to 31 December 2014 were also dismissed as out of time, the tribunal holding that it was not just and equitable to extend time for those complaints.

For the period 1 January 2016 to 7 April 2016, the tribunal found that the race, disability and religion discrimination complaints were again outside the relevant time limit, but it decided that it was just and equitable to extend time. It therefore held that it had jurisdiction to consider those complaints. No compensation or other remedy was determined in this judgment.
