Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal decided a preliminary time-limit issue. It found that the claimant could reasonably practicably have brought her holiday pay claim within the required time period. As the holiday pay claim was not brought within that period, it was dismissed.
The tribunal also considered the timing of the race discrimination claim. It found that the claim had been presented out of time, but that it was just and equitable to extend time from the last act of pleaded discrimination, which took place in December 2021.
For the avoidance of doubt, the tribunal recorded that it had found a prima facie case of conduct extending over a period, but it left substantive determination of that issue to the full merits hearing.

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.
