Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Cox in Leeds on 8 March 2021. The claimant, Miss L Brook, appeared in person and the respondent, Iceland Foods Ltd, was represented by Miss Kaye, counsel.
The tribunal did not decide the substantive merits of the underlying claim in this judgment. It held only that it had power to hear the claim notwithstanding that it had been presented outside the three-month time limit, because the tribunal considered the claim to have been brought within a period that was just and equitable.
No monetary remedy was recorded in this decision, and no final liability finding was made on the discrimination complaint itself.

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.
