Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs S. Ali brought claims against Harlech Foodservice Ltd that were heard by Employment Judge T. Vincent Ryan sitting with Mrs L. Owen and Mr. M. Lewis by CVP on 6 to 9 April 2021. The tribunal held that the claims that pre-dated 28 October 2019 were presented out of time, that it would not be just and equitable to extend time, and that the tribunal therefore had no jurisdiction in respect of those claims; alternatively, it said they would have been dismissed in any event.
The tribunal dismissed the substantive claims of direct discrimination because of race and because of religion or belief under s.13 Equality Act 2010. It also dismissed the claims of harassment related to race and religion or belief under s.26 Equality Act 2010. No remedy was awarded. The written record notes that reasons had been given orally and that no written reasons would be provided absent a request made at the hearing or within 14 days of the decision being sent.

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.
