Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing in Manchester on 25 February 2020, Employment Judge Warren considered whether the pleaded claims were in time and whether the tribunal had jurisdiction to hear them. The claimant was Mr K Jankauskas and the respondent was Scott Pallets.
The tribunal held that the unfair dismissal, unlawful deduction from wages, and breach of contract claims were out of time, and that it therefore had no jurisdiction to hear those claims. The disability discrimination claim was also out of time, but the tribunal found that it was just and equitable to extend time to the date of submission of the relevant ET1.
As a result, the tribunal had jurisdiction to hear the disability discrimination claim, while the other three claims were not allowed to proceed. The decision records that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in 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.
