Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Robinson, sitting alone at Manchester remotely by CVP on 17 June 2021, held that the claimant’s unfair dismissal and disability discrimination claims were both out of time. For the unfair dismissal claim, the tribunal found it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to issue proceedings within the time limit.
For the disability discrimination claim, the tribunal found it was not just and equitable to extend time. As a result, the tribunal did not determine the substantive merits of either claim and dismissed all claims for lack of jurisdiction.

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.
