Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant applied to amend her claim to include a complaint of harassment related to religion or belief and a further allegation of age discrimination, but the amendment application was refused. The judgment records no substantive liability findings on those proposed additions.
The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal and breach of contract complaints because they were not presented within the applicable time limit. It found that it was reasonably practicable for those complaints to have been presented in time.
The age discrimination and race discrimination complaints were also dismissed as out of time. For those claims, the tribunal found it was not just and equitable to extend the time limit. The result was that the entire claim was dismissed for want of jurisdiction.

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.
