Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs S O’Leary brought an age discrimination claim against the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency. At a preliminary hearing on 11 January 2024, Employment Judge Harfield held that the claim had not been presented within the applicable time limit, but that it was just and equitable to extend the time limit.
The order records that the claim would therefore proceed to a hearing listed for 15 to 19 April 2024. No substantive findings on the age discrimination allegations were made in this judgment, and no remedy was awarded or assessed.

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.
