Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the preliminary issue hearing on 16 March 2022, Employment Judge Buckley considered the claimant's claims for direct sex discrimination and harassment related to sex. The tribunal found that both claims had been brought outside the relevant time limit and had not been presented within such further period as it considered just and equitable.
On that basis, the tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to consider either the direct sex discrimination claim or the harassment related to sex claim. Both claims were struck out. The judgment records that the other claims in the case remained listed for final hearing and were not determined in this decision.

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.
