Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The judgment recorded preliminary decisions on time limits and jurisdiction in disability discrimination claims. The claimant's claims under s15 Equality Act 2010 and s20/21 Equality Act 2010 relating to the 14 April 2021 decision requiring her to relinquish her bank manager role were not submitted within three months of the alleged act.

The tribunal found that those claims were submitted within a further period that was just and equitable under s123(1)(b) Equality Act 2010, so it had jurisdiction to consider them. The tribunal also recorded further reasonable adjustment claims under s20 and s21 that were out of time, but left the jurisdiction issue for those claims to be determined at the final hearing.

No remedy was awarded in this judgment, and no written reasons were provided because reasons had been given orally unless requested within the stated period.

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.
