Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The case was heard remotely by Cloud Video Platform on 16 and 17 February 2021 before Employment Judge Tobin. The tribunal did not determine the merits of the complaints. It held that the claimant's constructive unfair dismissal claim was presented outside the time limit in s111(2) Employment Rights Act 1996, that it was reasonably practicable for the claim to have been presented in time, and that it was not presented within any further period the tribunal considered reasonable.

The tribunal made the same jurisdictional finding in relation to the claims for unlawful deduction of wages, outstanding holiday pay and other payments under s23(4) Employment Rights Act 1996. It also held that the discrimination claims based on pregnancy/maternity, disability, marriage or civil partnership and sex were presented outside the time limit in s123 Equality Act 2010 and that it was not just and equitable to extend time. Proceedings were dismissed, and the hearing listed for October 2021 was stated not to proceed.

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.
