Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal considered limitation issues only. It held that the unfair dismissal complaint had been presented out of time, but that it was not reasonably practicable to present it earlier, so that complaint was allowed to proceed.
The race discrimination complaint was also out of time, and the tribunal decided it was not just and equitable to extend time. That complaint was therefore dismissed. No merits decision is recorded in this judgment.

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.
