Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at the Wales Employment Tribunal by Cloud Video Platform on 18 June 2024 before Employment Judge Martin. Oral reasons were given at the hearing. The judgment records that the claimant was represented by his partner, Ms Vernall, and the respondent by counsel, Mr D Evans.
The tribunal struck out the claimant's claim of direct associative disability discrimination and his claim under the Part Time Workers provisions. It did so on the basis that the claimant had no reasonable prospect of establishing that those claims were in time or that time should be extended on just and equitable grounds. Those claims were accordingly dismissed.
The tribunal also struck out the claimant's claims of harassment related to disability, set out at paragraphs 6.1 and 6.3 to 6.5 of the order dated 25 April 2024, and his claims of failure to make reasonable adjustments, set out at paragraphs 5.1 and 5.2 of that order. The reason given for both was again that there was no reasonable prospect of establishing that the claims were in time or that time should be extended on just and equitable grounds. No monetary 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.
