Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal held that the claimant's disability discrimination claim was presented out of time contrary to section 123(1)(a) Equality Act 2010.
The Tribunal also held that it was not just and equitable to extend time under section 123(1)(b) Equality Act 2010. Because disability discrimination was the only complaint brought, the claim was dismissed and the listed final hearing was vacated.

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.
