Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought a claim that he was discriminated against because of age when he was unsuccessful in his application for an Operational Support Worker position at the respondent's premises at HMP Styal.
The Tribunal found that the claim was presented outside the applicable time limit. It also found that it was not just and equitable to extend the time limit under section 123(1) Equality Act 2010. The claim was therefore dismissed because the Tribunal did not have jurisdiction to hear it.

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.
