Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr W Longbottom brought a religion and belief discrimination claim against Barclays Bank UK Plc. Employment Judge Evans, sitting alone, held that the claim was not made within the time limit in section 123 of the Equality Act 2010.
The tribunal also found that the claim was not brought within any further period that it considered just and equitable. On that basis, the claim was treated as presented out of time and the tribunal said it had no jurisdiction to hear it.
The claim was therefore dismissed. No remedy was awarded and no substantive findings on the merits of the alleged discrimination were made.

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.
