Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing in public at Watford Employment Tribunal via CVP on 7 April 2026, Employment Judge Wilson considered Helen Fuller's claims against M Bodyworks Ltd t/a Fix Auto Hoddesdon for unfair dismissal and disability discrimination. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by Ms Jade Letts.
The Tribunal found that the unfair dismissal claim had not been presented within the applicable time limits. It found that it had been reasonably practicable for the claimant to present that claim by 22 December 2022, and that in any event the claim was not presented within a reasonable period thereafter.
The Tribunal also found that the disability discrimination claim had not been presented within the applicable time limits. It decided that it would not be just and equitable to extend time for bringing that claim. The judgment recorded that the Tribunal therefore did not have jurisdiction to determine either the unfair dismissal claim or the disability discrimination claim. No remedy or monetary award was recorded.

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.
