Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Jeram sitting alone on 10 January 2020. The tribunal dealt only with limitation issues. It found that the unfair dismissal claim had been presented outside the time limit, and that it was reasonably practicable for the claim to have been presented in time, so the claim was dismissed.
The tribunal also found that the race discrimination claims were presented more than three months after the date of the last act to which they related. It held that it was not just and equitable to extend time, and the race discrimination claims were dismissed. 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.
