Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing in Nottingham on 15 January 2020, Employment Judge Jeram sitting alone considered the claimant's disability discrimination complaint against Hambleton Bard Limited. The claimant did not attend; the respondent was represented by Mr Swanson.
The tribunal found that the disability discrimination claim had been presented more than three months after the date of the last act complained of. It further held that it was not just and equitable to extend time. On that basis, the disability discrimination claim was dismissed.
The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and no written reasons were provided. No monetary award was made.

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.
