Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Phil Allen granted Miss J Kantarama leave to amend her claim against Manchester City Council to include claims for discrimination arising from disability and harassment related to disability, limited to allegations 14, 16 and 17. Her other applications to amend were refused.
The respondent conceded that the claimant had a disability at the relevant time by reason of autism. The tribunal found that the claimant did not prove that she had a disability at the relevant time by reason of ADHD.
The tribunal dismissed the claim because the complaints were not entered within the time required by section 123 of the Equality Act 2010. It found that it was not just and equitable to extend time. No monetary remedy was recorded.

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.
