Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At a preliminary hearing, the tribunal recorded that Allegations 1 to 5 were struck out because they were not actively pursued. The judgment stated that this did not prevent the claimant relying on the factual basis of those allegations in support of his remaining complaints of discrimination.

The tribunal found that it had jurisdiction to consider Allegation 6, identified as a complaint of discrimination arising from disability. Although that claim was presented after the expiry of the statutory time limit, it was presented within such other period as the tribunal considered just and equitable.

The tribunal also found that it had jurisdiction to consider the complaint of failure to make adjustments on the same basis: it was out of time, but presented within a period the tribunal considered just and equitable. The judgment did not determine the merits of the remaining complaints or make any monetary award.

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.
