Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing, the Tribunal considered time limits for a discrimination complaint alleged to have taken place on 25 June 2021. It found that this complaint had been brought outside the primary time limit under section 123(1)(a) of the Equality Act 2010.
The Tribunal nevertheless decided that the complaint was presented within a period it considered just and equitable under section 123(1)(b) of the Equality Act 2010, and therefore held that it had jurisdiction to hear that complaint. The judgment records that whether earlier complaints were brought in time would be determined at the final hearing.

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.
