Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal, sitting at Bristol by video on 8 and 9 March 2021, heard Mr C Gonsalves' race discrimination claim against Dynamatic Hydraulics Limited. The unanimous judgment was that the tribunal did not have jurisdiction to hear the claim because it was not presented within the primary time limit in section 123(1)(a) of the Equality Act 2010.
The tribunal also found that it would not be just and equitable to extend time under section 123(1)(b) of the Equality Act 2010. The claim was therefore dismissed. No monetary remedy was awarded.

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.
