Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a hearing in Liverpool on 22 March 2024 before Employment Judge Slater, the respondent applied to strike out the claim on the basis that the claimant had no reasonable prospect of success in arguing that it would be just and equitable to extend time for his race discrimination complaint to be considered. The claimant was represented by Mr Y Lunat, solicitor, and the respondent by Ms A Niaz-Dickinson, counsel.

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.
