Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought complaints of direct race discrimination under section 13 of the Equality Act 2010 and harassment under section 26 of that Act against the first respondent (Trish O'Neil) and the second respondent (Healthcare Headhunters Limited, trading as Last Minute Nursing, in voluntary liquidation). The acts complained of were said to have taken place on 20 November 2024, with the claim presented on 14 March 2024 following ACAS early conciliation between 26 February and 14 March 2024. The Tribunal found the complaints were presented out of time.
Employment Judge Shotter, sitting alone at Liverpool on 1 and 2 December 2025, held that it was not just and equitable to extend the time limit to 14 March 2024. The discrimination and harassment complaints were accordingly dismissed.
The first and second respondents were ordered to pay the claimant £200 by way of a preparation time order under rule 74(2)(a) and (c) and rule 74(3) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024. The second respondent did not attend; the first respondent was unrepresented on 1 December 2025 and represented by Mr A Farooq, litigation consultant, on 2 December 2025.

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.
