Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a public preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Johnson on 15 October 2020. The claimant, Mrs V Warner, appeared in person and the respondent, Capita Business Services Limited, was represented by Ms P Tadi and Mr R Coleby. The tribunal dealt only with limitation issues and did not reach the substantive merits of either complaint.
The tribunal held that the unfair dismissal complaint had not been presented within the three-month time limit in section 111 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It was not satisfied that it had not been reasonably practicable for the claimant to present the complaint in time, so the unfair dismissal claim was struck out and dismissed.
The tribunal also held that the complaint of unlawful disability discrimination had not been presented within the section 123 Equality Act 2010 time limit. It was not satisfied that it would be just and equitable to extend time, so the disability discrimination complaint was struck out and dismissed. No remedy was awarded.

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.
