Tesco Stores Ltd

Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal found that the Claimant did not have the requisite qualifying service to bring a claim for Ordinary Unfair Dismissal. That claim was therefore dismissed.

The Tribunal recorded that the discrimination claim had been brought out of time, but found that it would be just and equitable to allow the claim to proceed. The Respondent's application to strike out the discrimination claim was refused.

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.
