Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal dismissed the Claimant's discrimination claims because it found it did not have jurisdiction to hear them.
The claims had been presented outside the time limit in section 123 Equality Act 2010. The Tribunal also found that it was not just and equitable to extend time under section 123(1)(b), so the claims did not proceed.
Claims and outcomes
1 finding recorded| Claim type | Issue or finding | Outcome | Protected characteristic | Award |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Disability discrimination | The judgment states that the Claimant's claims of discrimination were dismissed because the Tribunal had no jurisdiction: they were presented outside the section 123 Equality Act 2010 time limit and it was not just and equitable to extend time. The extracted judgment text does not itself specify the protected characteristic; disability is taken from the gov.uk listing category supplied in the case context. | Dismissed | Disability | — |

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.
