Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that the claims of race discrimination, sex discrimination and perceived disability discrimination were dismissed upon withdrawal. It also accepted the document submitted by the claimant with a letter dated 1 July 2021 as further particularisation of the existing complaint of victimisation.
The parties accepted that the claim form had been submitted outside the relevant statutory time limits. The breach of contract claim was dismissed because it was reasonably practicable for the claim to have been submitted within the statutory time limit, and it was not brought within a reasonable time after that time limit had expired. The victimisation claim was dismissed because it would not be just and equitable to extend the time limit.

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.
