In person. For the v Respondent — 2019

The Tribunal, sitting at Bury St Edmunds before Employment Judge Laidler on 17 December 2019, dismissed the claimant's constructive unfair dismissal claim because she did not have two years' continuous service with the respondent. The judgment records that, in the alternative, the unfair dismissal claim was submitted out of time and the Tribunal did not have jurisdiction to determine it.

The Tribunal also dismissed the race and age discrimination complaints. It found that those complaints were submitted out of time and that it was not just and equitable to extend time. The written reasons add that, if that conclusion on time were wrong, the discrimination complaints would have been dismissed because they had no reasonable prospects of success, and that deposits would have been ordered as a condition of continuing to advance those allegations.

The judgment further records that complaints relating to two references given to the claimant after the end of employment were outside the Tribunal's jurisdiction within the meaning of s.108 of the Equality Act 2010, and those claims were dismissed. No monetary remedy was awarded.
