Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr S Obadan brought a race discrimination claim against Hilti (Great Britain) Limited. The case was heard at East London Hearing Centre on 16 December 2019 before Employment Judge Elgot sitting alone.
The tribunal dismissed the race discrimination complaint. It found that the claim had been brought outside the time limit in section 123 of the Equality Act 2010.
The tribunal also decided that it was not just and equitable to extend the time limit, so the claim was not allowed to proceed on the merits. No remedy was awarded.

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.
