Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the open preliminary hearing before Employment Judge P Britton sitting alone, the tribunal dealt with time limits and procedural compliance rather than the merits of any substantive complaint. The unfair dismissal claim was dismissed because it had been presented out of time and the tribunal found that it had been reasonably practicable to present it within time.
The age discrimination claim was automatically dismissed for non-compliance with the Unless Order made on 8 March 2021. The tribunal added that, if it had not been automatically dismissed on that basis, it would in any event have been dismissed because it was out of time and it was not just and equitable in all the circumstances to extend time.
The race discrimination claims were also dismissed. The tribunal found that they had been presented out of time and that it was not just and equitable to extend time. The result recorded at the end of the judgment was that all of the claims presented by Mr F Ijeh were dismissed.

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.
