Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs S Anderson presented claims of unfair dismissal and direct race discrimination on 19 March 2020. A case management hearing on 30 September 2020 identified the claims and the alleged discriminatory events as occurring in April 2018, June 2019, and on dismissal on 6 November 2019. The matter was listed for a preliminary hearing to consider whether the claims should be struck out as out of time.
The tribunal noted that, even if the discrimination allegations were treated as part of a continuing act, the primary limitation period expired on 5 February 2020 and was extended to 12 March 2020 by the ACAS early conciliation process running from 21 January 2020 to 12 February 2020. On that basis, the claims appeared to have been presented out of time when lodged on 19 March 2020. At the hearing, however, the claimant said that after reflecting she no longer wished to pursue her claims, declined an offer of time to reconsider, and the tribunal accordingly dismissed the claims on withdrawal.

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.
