Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs K Hallam brought a disability discrimination claim against Rethink Mental Illness. The case was heard by Employment Judge Victoria Butler sitting alone in Nottingham on 24 February 2020. The judgment states that the claim was presented outside the time limit set down in section 123 of the Equality Act 2010.
The tribunal considered whether it was just and equitable to extend time, but decided it was not. On that basis, the claim could not proceed. No substantive determination of liability on the underlying discrimination allegations was recorded.
The claim was therefore dismissed. The written record notes that reasons had been given orally at the hearing and that no written reasons would be provided unless requested in time.

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.
