Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs Carter's complaint for unlawful deduction of wages and unspecified outstanding monies was dismissed because it was not presented within the three-month period beginning with 28 January 2020, the effective date of termination. The tribunal said it was reasonably practicable for the complaint to have been presented in time and that it was not brought within any further reasonable period.
Her disability discrimination complaint, brought under sections 20-22 of the Equality Act, was also dismissed as out of time. The tribunal treated the complaint as arising around 13 January 2020 and held that, in all the circumstances, it was not just and equitable to extend the time limit.
The claimant's constructive unfair dismissal complaint was dismissed because she did not have two years' continuous employment, so the tribunal had no jurisdiction to determine it. No remedy was awarded.

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.
