Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a public preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Coll, sitting alone at Watford by CVP on 8 November 2024. The claimant did not attend. The tribunal dealt only with preliminary issues and gave oral reasons at the hearing.
The tribunal held that the race discrimination claims were out of time and that it was not just and equitable to extend time. Those claims were therefore dismissed. The judgment does not identify any remedy for those claims.
The tribunal also found that the claimant had not been employed by the respondent for at least two years when her employment ended. On that basis, the claimant could not claim a redundancy payment and could not bring an unfair dismissal claim. The judgment added that there was no complaint of automatically unfair dismissal. No monetary award was made.

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.
