Mrs V L Naylor v Teleperformance limited — 2025

At Bristol Civil Justice Centre on 10 and 14 March 2025, Employment Judge Lambert considered claims for automatic unfair dismissal for protected disclosure under section 103A ERA, detriment for making a protected disclosure under section 48 ERA, ordinary unfair dismissal under section 111 ERA, disability discrimination under sections 13 and 15 Equality Act 2010, and sex discrimination under section 13 Equality Act 2010. The tribunal held that the section 103A and section 48 claims were presented outside the relevant time limit and that it was reasonably practicable for them to have been brought in time, so the tribunal lacked jurisdiction over those claims.

For the discrimination complaints, the tribunal held that claims arising before 14 August 2023 were out of time and that it was not just and equitable to extend time under section 123 Equality Act 2010. The remaining claims, including the ordinary unfair dismissal claim and the non-time-barred parts of the disability and sex discrimination claims, were found not well-founded and were dismissed. The judgment notes that an equal pay claim had also been raised, but it was not part of this hearing and was to be dealt with separately.
