Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal heard the case on 9 July 2021 before Employment Judge McDonald. It held that the claimant's unfair dismissal claim was not presented in time. On that basis, the tribunal said it had no jurisdiction to consider the unfair dismissal claim and dismissed it.

The tribunal reached the same procedural conclusion on the Equality Act 2010 claim, finding that it was also not presented in time and therefore outside its jurisdiction. No substantive liability findings or remedy assessment were made, and the judgment records no monetary 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.
