Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Laurentiu Persunaru, brought direct race discrimination claims against Railscape Ltd and Tony Byrne. The case was heard at East London Hearing Centre on 10 October 2024 before Employment Judge Sugarman. The tribunal did not reach the substance of the discrimination allegations.
The tribunal held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the claims because they were brought outside the three-month time limit in s123(1) of the Equality Act 2010. It also found that it was not just and equitable to extend time. The result was that the claimant’s claims 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.
