Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Laidler heard the matter at Bury St Edmunds via CVP on 4 August 2022. The tribunal held that it did not have jurisdiction to determine Ms U A Opara's claim because it had been presented out of time and it was not just and equitable to extend time.
The tribunal did not reach the merits of the underlying claim. It recorded that, had jurisdiction existed, it would have granted the Second Respondent's application to strike out the claim on the basis that it had no reasonable prospects of success. No remedy was awarded or recorded in the 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.
