Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe judgment records a preliminary jurisdiction decision. The Tribunal held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the race discrimination claims concerning Rothsay Grange Care Home up to 18 March 2018, because those claims were out of time and it was not just and equitable to extend time.
For the race discrimination claims concerning Milford House Care Home, the Tribunal did not make a final determination. It stated that some claims may be out of time, but that whether the alleged acts were continuing acts and whether any extension was just and equitable would be determined at the hearing.
The Tribunal also held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the unfair dismissal claim because the claimant had less than two years' service. No remedy was awarded in this judgment.

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.
