Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal heard the case at Watford by CVP on 28 August 2024 before Employment Judge Young. It dealt with three complaints brought by Mr Rabinder Kayale against Pladis (UK) Ltd: unfair dismissal under section 94 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, unlawful deduction of wages under section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, and direct race discrimination under sections 13 and 39 of the Equality Act 2010.
All three complaints were dismissed on limitation grounds. For the unfair dismissal claim and the unlawful deduction of wages claim, the tribunal found that each was not presented within the applicable time limit and that it was reasonably practicable to do so within time. For the race discrimination claim, the tribunal found that it was also not presented within the applicable time limit and that it was not just and equitable to extend the time limit.
No liability findings on the substantive merits of the complaints were recorded. No monetary award was made, and the written record notes that the reasons for the judgment had been given orally at the hearing, so written reasons were not provided unless requested in accordance with the tribunal's standard note.

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.
