Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing, the tribunal dismissed the complaint of victimisation under section 27 Equality Act 2010 upon withdrawal by the claimant. The claims for unpaid notice pay and accrued and unpaid holiday pay were also withdrawn because the judgment records that all outstanding amounts were paid on 31 March 2023, and those claims were dismissed.
The remaining claims of unfair dismissal and disability discrimination were presented outside the relevant statutory time limits. The tribunal refused to extend time, finding under section 111 Employment Rights Act 1996 that it was reasonably practicable to present the unfair dismissal claim in time, and under section 123 Equality Act 2010 that it would not be just and equitable to extend time for the discrimination complaint. Those remaining claims were struck out for lack of jurisdiction, and the judgment states that all claims in the proceedings were dismissed.

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.
