Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The case was heard at Lincoln on 27 January 2021 before Employment Judge Butler sitting alone. The claimant, Mr R Duncan, brought a race discrimination claim against Boston Sausage.

The tribunal decided that the claim had been submitted outside the time limit in section 123 of the Equality Act 2010. It also found that it was not just and equitable to extend time.

On that basis, the race discrimination claim was 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.
