Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr W Akram brought claims for breach of contract and race discrimination against Gotham Newco 2 Limited. The case was heard remotely by CVP on 27 January 2022 before Employment Judge Victoria Butler. The judgment records that written reasons would not be provided unless requested, and the tribunal gave its reasons orally at the hearing.
The breach of contract claim was dismissed for want of jurisdiction because it was presented out of time and the tribunal found it was reasonably practicable for it to have been presented in time. The race discrimination claim was also dismissed for want of jurisdiction because it was presented out of time and the tribunal found it was not just and equitable to extend 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.
