Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a record of a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Self on 28 January 2022, with the Claimant appearing in person and the Respondent represented by its owner, Mr Harvey. The tribunal dealt only with threshold issues and did not reach a merits hearing.
The unfair dismissal claim was dismissed on the basis that the Claimant did not have the requisite service under section 108 Employment Rights Act 1996. The tribunal went on to add that, even if the Claimant had had two years' service, it would have been reasonably practicable for an unfair dismissal claim to have been presented within the statutory time limit, and it was dismissed on that alternative ground as well.
The disability discrimination claim was also dismissed at the preliminary stage. The tribunal found that it had not been lodged within the relevant statutory time limit and that it was not just and equitable to extend time.
No monetary award was made. The judgment records dismissals only and does not set out any separate remedy calculation.

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.
