Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing on 14 July 2021 before Judge Brian Doyle, the tribunal recorded the effective date of termination as 27 May 2020 and dealt with limitation issues only. The claimant’s unfair dismissal complaint and disability discrimination complaints concerning the respondent’s redundancy exercise, his selection for redundancy, his dismissal by reason of redundancy and his appeal against dismissal were found to have been presented in time and were allowed to proceed to a final hearing.
The tribunal also held that the claimant’s remaining disability discrimination complaints were not presented in time. It decided that it was not just and equitable to extend time for those complaints, and they were dismissed.
The order then listed the matter for a final hearing on 3 to 5 April 2023 at Manchester, before an Employment Judge and two non-legal members, and made case management directions for schedule of loss, disclosure, witness statements and preparation of the hearing bundle.

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.
