Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard remotely in Manchester on 7 February 2023 before Employment Judge Robinson sitting alone. The tribunal recorded that the claimant, Mrs C Mackereth, brought claims for unfair dismissal and age discrimination against Clarins UK Limited.
The tribunal held that both claims had been presented out of time. On the unfair dismissal claim, it found that it was reasonably practicable to present the claim in time, but the claim had not been presented within a reasonable further period after the expiry of the limit. On the age discrimination claim, the tribunal found that it was not just and equitable to extend time, and that it had also not been presented within a reasonable further period after the expiry of the limit.
As a result, the tribunal had no jurisdiction to hear either complaint and both were dismissed. The claimant also confirmed that there was no notice pay claim, and the tribunal recorded that any such claim was withdrawn. The judgment concluded that no further judgment, direction or order was necessary.

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.
