Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard remotely by Employment Judge Tsamados at London South on 21 August 2020. Mr J Murray appeared in person and East Sussex County Council was represented by counsel. The tribunal recorded that the hearing was conducted by video and that a face-to-face hearing was not practicable.
The tribunal did not determine the substance of the discrimination complaint. It held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the claimant’s claim because it had been presented outside the time limit in section 123 of the Equality Act 2010. The claim was therefore dismissed.
Because the tribunal dismissed the claim on limitation grounds, no remedy was awarded. The judgment also records that the full hearing listed for 9 to 17 November 2020 was vacated.

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.
