Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing on 14 January 2025, the tribunal dealt with a claim by Mrs D Byczek against Sports Direct.com Retail Limited. Employment Judge McTigue heard the case via CvP. The claimant was represented by her son, Mr M Bycsek, and the respondent was represented by Ms M Stanley of Counsel.
The tribunal held that the unfair dismissal complaint had not been presented within the applicable time limit. It found that it was reasonably practicable to present the claim in time, so the unfair dismissal complaint was dismissed.
The tribunal also held that the race discrimination and disability discrimination complaints had not been presented within the applicable time limit. It found that it was not just and equitable to extend the time limit for those complaints, and they were dismissed.
Because all complaints were out of time, the tribunal dismissed the entirety of the claim. 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.
