Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal considered Mr B Thomas's disability discrimination claims under sections 13, 15, 21 and 26 of the Equality Act 2010. It found that the claims were not presented within the prescribed time limit in section 123(1)(a), referring to the claim form presented on 8 September 2020.

The tribunal further held that it was not just and equitable to extend time under section 123(1)(b). Because it therefore had no jurisdiction to consider any of the claims, all claims were dismissed. The written record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing.

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.
