Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal determined a preliminary issue about time limits for the claimant's pleaded unlawful discrimination claims. It found that the claims were not submitted within the primary three-month time period from the last act complained of.
The claimant pursued the claim on the basis that the last act complained of was 30 June 2022, with earlier acts said to amount to conduct extending over a period. The tribunal concluded that it would be just and equitable to extend time, so the pleaded discrimination claim could proceed. The judgment did not decide the merits of the underlying discrimination claim and made no award.

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.
