Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a remote preliminary hearing, the tribunal considered the claimant's application to amend his claim and limitation issues. The application to amend was rejected insofar as it sought to add religious and/or belief discrimination claims and three further identified instances. The tribunal held that some other proposed matters did not require amendment because they could be inferred from the claim form.
The tribunal found that the unfair dismissal claim and the claim for underpayment or non-payment of wages were presented outside the relevant statutory time limits. It also found that it had been reasonably practicable for those claims to be presented within time.
The tribunal further found that the claimant's race discrimination and disability discrimination complaints were presented outside the Equality Act 2010 time limit, and that it was not just and equitable to allow them to proceed. It therefore held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the complaints brought on 13 October 2023, and dismissed the proceedings.

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.
