Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The claimant, Mr G Adamure, brought complaints of race discrimination against Greggs Plc and complaints under regulation 18 of the Agency Workers Regulations 2010 against Adjustopen Ltd (in Voluntary Liquidation). The hearing was at Newcastle CFCTC before Employment Judge Newburn on 9 November 2023, with Mr Williams appearing for the respondents and the claimant appearing in person.

The Tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the race discrimination complaints because they were presented out of time and it was not just and equitable to extend time. Those complaints were therefore struck out and dismissed. The same jurisdictional conclusion was reached in relation to the Agency Workers Regulations complaints, which were also found to have been presented out of time with no extension of time granted.

No monetary award was made. The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days.

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.
