Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At a preliminary hearing, the Tribunal found that the Claimant's claim had been presented outside the applicable time limit. It further found that it had been reasonably practicable for the claim to have been presented in time.

The Tribunal also recorded that there was no complaint of discrimination capable of being heard in the claim form as lodged. Accordingly, it held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the claim, struck it out, and vacated the listed final hearing.

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.
