Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs Dawn Roberts' claim of unfair dismissal under the Employment Rights Act 1996 was struck out for want of jurisdiction. The tribunal held that the claim had been filed out of time and that time would not be extended.
Her disability discrimination claims under the Equality Act 2010 were also struck out for want of jurisdiction. The tribunal found that those claims had likewise been presented out of time and that it was not just and equitable to extend time. Oral reasons were given at the hearing on 14 July 2020.

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.
