Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs Batkin brought a claim under the Part-Time Workers (Prevention of Less Favourable Treatment) Regulations 2000 against Worcester City Council. Employment Judge Cookson sat alone at Birmingham on 15 November 2019 and heard the case with representation for both parties.
The tribunal dismissed the claim on limitation grounds. It found that the claim was not presented before the end of three months beginning with the date of the less favourable treatment or detriment. It also found that, in all the circumstances of the case, it was not just and equitable for the tribunal to consider the claim.
No remedy was awarded. The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that no written reasons would be provided unless requested within 14 days.

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.
