Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge C K Sharp, sitting alone at Cardiff on 23 October 2019, held that the tribunal did not have jurisdiction to hear Mr Brinkworth's disability discrimination claims because the time limit for bringing them had not been extended under s.123 of the Equality Act 2010. The written judgment records that the claimant was in person and the respondent was represented by a solicitor.
As a result, the claimant's complaint was dismissed. The record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons were not provided with the written judgment.

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.
