Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal at Bristol, before Employment Judge J Bax, dealt with preliminary limitation issues rather than the merits of the substantive claims. The unfair dismissal claim was found to have been presented out of time. The Tribunal held that it was reasonably practicable for the Claimant to have presented that claim in time, so the Tribunal did not have jurisdiction to hear it and it was struck out.

The claims of race discrimination were also found to have been presented out of time. On those claims, the Tribunal held that it was not just and equitable to extend time. As with the unfair dismissal claim, the Tribunal concluded that it had no jurisdiction and struck the race discrimination claims out. No remedy was recorded.

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.
