Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss Lucy Yeboah’s case against Hayward Services Ltd was heard at Watford on 15 April 2024 before Employment Judge Alliott sitting alone. The respondent was represented by Mr M Ramsbottom, consultant, and the claimant appeared in person.
The tribunal dismissed the claimant’s claim because it was brought out of time. It found that it was reasonably practicable for the claim to have been brought in time, so the limitation point was not overcome. The written record notes that reasons had been given orally at the hearing, and no separate written reasons were provided.
No remedy was awarded because the claim failed on limitation grounds at the outset.

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.
