Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal decided a preliminary limitation issue concerning Equality Act 2010 complaints. It found that it was just and equitable to extend time for the claimant's complaints against Tesco Stores Limited concerning alleged contraventions on 16 June 2022, so those complaints could be considered by the Tribunal.
The Tribunal did not decide whether the claimant's earlier discrimination complaints against Tesco Stores Limited were within its jurisdiction. That question, framed as whether they formed conduct extending over a period, was left to be decided at the final hearing.
The Tribunal found that it was not just and equitable to extend time for the claimant's complaints against Mr S Mills. Those complaints were dismissed.

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.
