Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr S Patel's claim against Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was dismissed at the hearing on 28 January 2025. The tribunal held that the claim had not been brought within three months of the act to which the complaint related, and that it would not be just and equitable to extend time.
Because the claim was dismissed on limitation grounds, the tribunal did not determine the substantive merits. The final hearing listed for 1, 2 and 3 July 2025 at Manchester Employment Tribunal was vacated.

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.
