Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss S Cleaver brought a claim of discrimination by reason of sexual orientation against Witherslack Group Limited, Ms R Brown and Ms D McKechnie. Employment Judge Ahmed, sitting alone at Leicester remotely via Cloud Video Platform on 9 October 2020, held that the claim was presented outside the time limit in section 123(1) of the Equality Act.
The tribunal further found that it was not just and equitable to extend time. On that basis, the sexual orientation discrimination claim was struck out. No monetary remedy was recorded in the 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.
