Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing, the Tribunal considered jurisdiction and time-limit issues. It found that the unfair dismissal complaint had not been presented within the statutory time limit and that the claimant had not satisfied the Tribunal that it was not reasonably practicable to present it in time, so the Tribunal had no jurisdiction to consider that complaint.
For the race discrimination complaints, the Tribunal found that it was just and equitable under section 123 of the Equality Act 2010 to extend time up to and including 29 March 2023. It therefore held that it had jurisdiction to hear those complaints.
The Tribunal also found that the claimant's claim for 4 days unpaid holiday pay was presented within the relevant time limit because he only discovered the non-payment when he received his final payslip on 9 November 2022.

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.
