Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a record of a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Livesey in Bristol by video on 18 October 2024. The claimant, Mr C Kaluwa, brought a disability discrimination claim against the Ministry of Defence.
The tribunal dismissed the claim because it lacked jurisdiction to hear it. The judgment states that the claim was brought out of time and that it was not just and equitable to extend time so that it could proceed under section 123 of the Equality Act 2010.
No substantive findings on liability were made. The judgment refers to an order of even date for the reasons for refusing an extension of time.

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.
