Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt an open preliminary hearing on 2 September 2020 before Employment Judge Lloyd, the tribunal considered the claimant's claims against One Stop Stores Limited. It held that the claims of unfair dismissal, breach of contract, unpaid wages and holiday pay were all presented out of time. For those claims, the tribunal found it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to have commenced proceedings within the prescribed time limits, so it dismissed them forthwith in their entirety.
The tribunal also dismissed the race discrimination claim. It found that the claim had been presented out of time and that it was not just and equitable to extend time to allow the claim to proceed. The judgment records that the dismissal was in its entirety and on jurisdictional/time-limit grounds, rather than on the merits of the underlying complaints.
The judgment further states that the claimant had never presented a claim of whistleblowing detriment and had not applied to amend the proceedings to include such a claim. 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.
