Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the preliminary hearing on 2 December 2019 before Employment Judge Foxwell, the Tribunal dealt with the Claimant’s application for a postponement and dismissed it. The hearing was at Cambridge Hearing Centre and the parties were represented by Dr Herrman for the Claimant and Mr Feeny for the Respondent.
The Tribunal held that the Claimant’s complaints of unlawful age and/or race discrimination and harassment were presented outside the time limit in section 123 of the Equality Act 2010. It further held that it was not just and equitable to extend time for bringing those complaints. On that basis, those complaints were dismissed as falling outside the Tribunal’s jurisdiction.
The written decision states that the Claimant’s claim of unfair dismissal was unaffected by the judgment, so no finding was made on that claim in this preliminary hearing. The reasons were given orally and no written reasons were provided in the record supplied.

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.
