Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal claim on the basis that it had been presented outside the statutory time limit, in circumstances where it was reasonably practicable to present it within time.

The tribunal dismissed the unauthorised deductions from wages claim upon withdrawal. It also recorded that the race discrimination claim and an unfair dismissal claim proceed, but the extracted judgment does not determine the merits of those continuing claims or make any remedy award.

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.
