Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought a race discrimination claim relating to an interview process and trial shift in December 2023. The hearing decided the preliminary issue of whether the claim had been presented in time.
The tribunal found that the claim was filed 20 days late, but accepted the claimant's evidence that her ability to comply with deadlines was affected by ADHD and that she believed she had filed in time. The tribunal found no forensic prejudice to the respondent and extended time to 11 June 2024, so the race discrimination claim will proceed.

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.
