Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs Jordan Walpole brought complaints of unauthorised deduction from wages, pregnancy or maternity discrimination, sex discrimination, and harassment related to disability against CH&CO. The hearing took place by video on 9 January 2024 before Employment Judge Volkmer, with the claimant appearing in person and the respondent represented by a solicitor.
The tribunal dismissed the unauthorised deduction from wages complaint because it was not presented within the applicable time limit. The tribunal found it was not reasonably practicable to present that complaint in time, but also found it was not brought within a further reasonable period.
The pregnancy or maternity discrimination and sex discrimination complaints were also dismissed on limitation grounds. For each of those claims, the tribunal found that they were not presented within the applicable time limit and that it was not just and equitable to extend time.
The harassment complaint, identified in the judgment as harassment related to disability, was likewise dismissed as out of time. The tribunal again concluded that it was not just and equitable to extend the time limit. The written record notes that reasons had been given orally at the hearing and that no written reasons would be provided unless requested.

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.
