Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The respondent's application to strike out the claim was refused. The tribunal decided that the unfair dismissal complaint and the disability, age and race discrimination complaints relating to dismissal were presented within the applicable time limit and would proceed.

The tribunal found that the disability, age and race discrimination complaints relating to the appointment of another person when the claimant was absent were out of time, but that it was just and equitable to extend time, so those complaints would also proceed. The discrimination complaints relating to an incident in November 2022 were out of time, and the tribunal did not extend time for those complaints, which were dismissed.

The tribunal also found that, at the relevant times, the claimant was a disabled person under section 6 Equality Act 2010 because of insulin-dependent type 2 diabetes, and that the respondent was aware of that from the start of the claimant's employment.

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.
