Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to consider the claimant's claims for direct sex discrimination and sexual harassment under sections 13 and 26 of the Equality Act 2010. It found that both claims were brought outside the time limit in section 123(1)(a) and that it was not just and equitable to extend time under section 123(1)(b).
As a result, the tribunal dismissed all of the claimant's claims. Oral reasons were given at the hearing on 1 October 2019, and the judgment was sent to the parties on 8 October 2019.

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.
