Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing in public, the Tribunal considered the timeliness of Diane Anderson's claims against The Arsenal Football Club Plc. The Tribunal found that the unfair dismissal claim was not presented within the applicable time limit and that it was reasonably practicable to present it in time.
The Tribunal also found that the claims of race discrimination, sex discrimination, age discrimination and disability discrimination were not presented within the applicable time limit. It found that it was not just and equitable to extend the time limit, and those discrimination claims were dismissed.

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.
