Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the open preliminary hearing on 5 October 2022, Employment Judge Stout heard Mr H Singh’s claims against Loot Limited and The Color Company Distribution Limited. The judgment records that the disability discrimination claims were out of time under s 123(1)(a) Equality Act 2010 and that it was not just and equitable to extend time under s 123(1)(b).
The Tribunal also held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the claims for unlawful deduction from wages, holiday pay, and notice pay. For those claims, it found that it would have been reasonably practicable for the Claimant to bring the claims within 3 months and that, in any event, they had not been brought within a reasonable further period, referring to s 23(4) Employment Rights Act 1996, art 7 of the Employment Tribunals (Extension of Jurisdiction) Order 1994, and reg 30(2) of the Working Time Regulations 1998.
Because the Tribunal found no jurisdiction for any of the claims, all of the Claimant’s claims were dismissed. The judgment does not record any monetary award or split of remedy between claims.

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.
