Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant worked for the respondent on a fixed-term contract from 11 April 2022 until 29 September 2022. He brought claims for protected disclosure detriment and dismissal, direct race discrimination, harassment, and fixed-term employee detriment. The preliminary hearing considered whether those claims had been presented in time, or whether time should be extended.
The tribunal found that the claimant knew the deadline for presenting his claim was 07 March 2023 and that the claim form submitted on 14 March 2023 was out of time. For the protected disclosure complaints, it found that it had been reasonably practicable to present the claims within the original time limit. For the race discrimination, harassment, and fixed-term employee detriment complaints, it found that it would not be just and equitable to extend time. All claims were dismissed.

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.
