Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs N Leicester brought complaints against Firstcol Services Ltd including disability discrimination under section 15 Equality Act 2010 and a complaint of failure to make reasonable adjustments under sections 20 and 21 Equality Act 2010. At a hearing on 24 February 2022 before Employment Judge Abbott, the tribunal dealt only with time limits.
The tribunal decided that both complaints were brought within such period as the tribunal thinks just and equitable under section 123(1) Equality Act 2010. On that basis, the tribunal held that it had jurisdiction to hear the disability discrimination and reasonable adjustments complaints.
The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested. No merits findings, liability findings, or monetary award are set out in this judgment.

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.
