Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr Mesbaque Chowdhury, brought claims against Unitrust Protection Services Ltd for unfair dismissal, race discrimination, disability discrimination and wrongful dismissal. The hearing was before Employment Judge Bedeau sitting at Watford on 4 August 2022. No lay members are recorded in the judgment, and the reasons were given orally at the hearing.
The unfair dismissal claim did not proceed on the merits. The tribunal recorded that it was dismissed upon withdrawal by the claimant, who acknowledged that he did not have two years' continuous employment with the respondent to bring that claim.
The race and disability discrimination claims were found to have been presented outside the three-month time limit. The tribunal declined to extend time on just and equitable grounds and therefore struck out those claims for want of jurisdiction. The wrongful dismissal claim was also presented outside the three-month time limit and was not presented within a reasonable time thereafter, so it too was struck out for want of jurisdiction. No remedy was awarded.

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.
