Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal dealt with two preliminary issues only. First, it held that the claimant's unfair dismissal claim was out of time under section 111 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The tribunal found that it had been reasonably practicable for the claim to have been presented timeously, and the unfair dismissal claim was therefore dismissed.

Second, the tribunal considered the claimant's claim under section 15 of the Equality Act 2010, pleaded as discrimination arising from disability. That claim was also out of time under section 123 of the Equality Act 2010, but the tribunal decided it was just and equitable to extend the time limit to 24 November 2018, the date on which the claim was lodged. The result was that the disability discrimination claim was allowed to proceed. The judgment records that reasons were given orally at the hearing and does not record any merits determination or monetary award.

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.
