Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At the hearing on 19 November 2018 before Employment Judge Freer, the claimant, Mrs S Baidoo, appeared in person and the respondent was represented by counsel. The written judgment records only preliminary and procedural outcomes; reasons were given orally and no written reasons were provided unless requested.

The tribunal recorded that the claimant's breach of contract claim was dismissed upon withdrawal. It also recorded that the claims against Ms Gilbert and Ms Harrison under case number 2301557/2018 were dismissed upon withdrawal.

The tribunal held that it did not have jurisdiction to consider the claims under case number 2302260/2018 because they were presented out of time and it was not just and equitable to extend time. By contrast, it held that it did have jurisdiction to consider the claimant's race discrimination claim under case number 2300508/2018 because, although it was also presented out of time, it was just and equitable for the claim to be considered.

The respondent's application for a deposit order in respect of claim number 2300508/2018 was successful and was dealt with in a separate order. The written judgment does not record any final merits determination or any monetary award for the race discrimination claim.

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.
