Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing in public, the Tribunal considered time limit issues for the unfair dismissal and disability discrimination claims.
The Tribunal found that the unfair dismissal claim had not been presented within the applicable time limit and that it had been reasonably practicable to present it in time. That claim was dismissed.
The Tribunal also found that the disability discrimination claims had not been presented within the applicable time limit and that it was not just and equitable to extend time. Those claims 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.
