Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal dismissed all of the claimant's claims. These included automatically unfair dismissal for making protected disclosures under section 103A Employment Rights Act 1996, automatically unfair dismissal for assertion of a statutory right under section 104 Employment Rights Act 1996, breach of contract, and a section 15 Equality Act 2010 claim. The judgment also dismissed the claimant's Working Time Regulations claims concerning annual leave and daily rest.

The annual leave claim under regulations 13 and 13A Working Time Regulations 1998 was dismissed. The daily rest claim under regulation 10 Working Time Regulations 1998 was rejected on limitation grounds: the tribunal found it had been presented outside the time limit in regulation 30, as extended by the early conciliation period, and that it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to have brought the claim in time.

No financial award was recorded in the judgment. The decision is a dismissal-only judgment and does not set out any compensation, basic award, injury to feelings award, or other monetary remedy.

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.
