Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal heard a claim of direct protected belief discrimination brought by Ms R Neira against East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust. It found that she had been treated less favourably because of her protected belief in March 2022 when she was required to work in the respondent's library. However, that complaint was presented outside the applicable time limit, and the tribunal held that it was not just and equitable to extend time.

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.
