Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Lancaster on 27 August 2020, conducted remotely by CVP video link with the parties' consent. The claimant, Miss Laura Yeadon, appeared in person and the respondent was represented by counsel. The judge relied on the ET1, ET3, an earlier case management order, and the claimant's short statement filed under that order.
The tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal complaint because it had been presented out of time and it was found that it would have been reasonably practicable to comply with the time limit. The judgment records no substantive findings on the merits of the dismissal claim, because the limitation issue disposed of it.
The tribunal also struck out the disability-related discrimination complaint under section 15 of the Equality Act 2010 because it was presented out of time and it would not be just and equitable to extend time. As with the unfair dismissal complaint, the decision turned on limitation rather than any determination of liability.
The judgment ends by stating that the claim was therefore dismissed. No monetary award or other remedy was 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.
