Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt an open preliminary hearing by video on 29 October 2021, Employment Judge V Jones held that the Tribunal had no jurisdiction to hear the claimant's claims. The claimant was unrepresented and the respondent was represented by counsel. The written record states that oral reasons were given at the hearing and no written reasons would be provided unless requested within 14 days.
The unfair dismissal claim was dismissed because the Tribunal found the claimant did not have the two years' continuous service required by section 108(1) Employment Rights Act 1996. The judgment records that this meant the Tribunal lacked jurisdiction to hear that claim.
The sex discrimination claims were dismissed because they were presented after the time limit in section 123(1)(a) Equality Act 2010. The Tribunal further found it was not just and equitable to extend time under section 123(1)(b) Equality Act 2010.

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.
