Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal determined that both the unfair dismissal claim and the disability discrimination claim had been presented outside the applicable time limits.

For the unfair dismissal claim, the tribunal found that it had been reasonably practicable for the claimant to present the claim in time. For the disability discrimination claim, the tribunal found that it was not just and equitable to extend time.

Accordingly, the tribunal held that both claims were out of time, that it had no jurisdiction to hear them, and dismissed them.

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.
