Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing on 6 March 2026, the Tribunal considered whether Mr Balu's complaints had been presented within the applicable time limits. It found that the complaints of automatic unfair dismissal relating to the assertion of statutory rights, unauthorised deductions from wages, breach of contract, failure to pay accrued but untaken holiday pay, and breaches of the entitlement to rest breaks had been presented late and that it had been reasonably practicable to present them in time. Those complaints were dismissed.
The complaint of harassment related to age had also been presented outside the applicable time limit. The Tribunal found it just and equitable to extend time for that complaint, which will therefore proceed. The judgment did not determine the merits of the age-related harassment complaint and recorded no 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.
