Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing judgment about whether allegations in case 3204226/2022 should be struck out because of statutory time limits. The Tribunal recorded that the Claimant's sex discrimination, age discrimination and direct disability discrimination claims were dismissed upon withdrawal.
The Tribunal refused to strike out the direct race discrimination and harassment related to race allegations. Taking the Claimant's case at its highest, it found a prima facie case that the allegations could amount to conduct extending over a period, ending within the limitation period, with issues about any continuing act left for the final hearing.
The Tribunal also refused to strike out victimisation allegation 27, the failure to make reasonable adjustments claim, and the harassment related to disability allegation. It held that it could not say those complaints had no reasonable prospect of overcoming limitation issues, including by a continuing act argument or a just and equitable extension. No final findings were made on the merits or limitation issues.

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.
