Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Gary Cook, brought complaints of unfair dismissal and disability discrimination against Kingston University Higher Education Corporation. At the hearing before Employment Judge Liz Ord on 18 November 2024, the tribunal recorded that the unfair dismissal complaint was dismissed upon withdrawal.
The tribunal also held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the disability discrimination complaint because it was presented out of time and it was not just and equitable to extend time. The judgment then stated, for the avoidance of doubt, that all claims brought in the case were dismissed.

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.
