Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At this preliminary hearing, Employment Judge Brain considered the claimant's section 15 Equality Act 2010 claim against RCCN Limited. The tribunal held that the claim had not been presented within the time limit in section 123 of the Equality Act 2010.

The tribunal nevertheless decided that it was just and equitable to extend the time limit to 2 February 2025. The practical result was that the claim would proceed. No merits finding or remedy award was recorded in this order.

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.
