Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal dismissed the claimant's claims for unfair dismissal, automatically unfair dismissal for having made protected disclosures, detriment for having made protected disclosures, breach of contract, and unauthorised deductions from wages. It found those claims were out of time and that it had been reasonably practicable for the claimant to present them in time.
The Tribunal also dismissed the claimant's claims for race discrimination and religion and belief discrimination. It found those claims were out of time and that it was not just and equitable to extend time.

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.
