Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing on 5 December 2024 before Employment Judge R Clark sitting alone, the claimant's claim for compensation for accrued but untaken annual leave outstanding at termination was dismissed upon withdrawal. The tribunal also dismissed the unfair dismissal claim for lack of jurisdiction because it had been presented out of time when it was reasonably practicable for it to have been presented in time.
The tribunal dismissed the unauthorised deduction from wages claims for lack of jurisdiction. It found they were out of time and, in any event, the two matters particularised on the day concerned, first, the operation of the Pensions Act 2008 and, second, a disputed entitlement to Statutory Sick Pay, neither of which was a matter the employment tribunal had jurisdiction to determine.
The disability discrimination claims were found to have been presented out of time, but the tribunal held it was just and equitable to extend time to 26 January 2024, the date ACAS early conciliation commenced, with the claim subsequently submitted on 12 February 2024. No merits decision on the disability discrimination claims appears in this judgment.

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.
