Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Ms S Lindsay presented a claim form on 4 November 2022 alleging unfair dismissal, race discrimination and unauthorised deduction from wages. She later confirmed that she was dismissed on 7 November 2022, after the claim form had already been presented.

The Tribunal held that it could not accept a claim for unfair dismissal until after the claimant had been dismissed. On that basis, it found that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the unfair dismissal claim as then brought, and the claim was struck out.

The judgment records that the claimant may proceed with her race discrimination and unauthorised deduction from wages claims. No remedy was assessed in this decision.

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.
