Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningOn 22 July 2020, Employment Judge Balogun sitting at London South by CVP determined a preliminary issue in Ms M Sanusi v Marks and Spencer Plc. The judgment addressed limitation and time-extension questions only.
The tribunal extended time for the unfair dismissal and holiday pay claims to 29 July 2019, finding that it was not reasonably practicable for those claims to be presented within the primary statutory time limit.
For the disability discrimination complaints, the tribunal extended time on just and equitable grounds for alleged acts occurring on or after 22 January 2019, again to 29 July 2019. The complaint relating to alleged acts on 17 September 2018, 10 October 2018 and 6 January 2019 was dismissed as out of time. The judgment does not determine the merits of the substantive claims.

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.
