Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

This was a preliminary judgment on limitation. The hearing took place at Cardiff by video on 23 September 2022 before Employment Judge Rhodri McDonald. The claimant was Nona Causer and the respondent was Gwynedd Council.

The tribunal decided that the claimant’s unfair dismissal complaint had been brought out of time and dismissed that complaint. No substantive merits finding on unfair dismissal was made in this judgment.

The tribunal also held that the claimant’s complaints of pregnancy and maternity discrimination and direct sex discrimination had been brought out of time, but it was just and equitable to extend time for those complaints. Those claims were therefore allowed to proceed to hearing.

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.
