Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing in Leeds on 23 December 2025, the tribunal considered time-limit and jurisdiction issues. It found that the unfair dismissal claim had not been presented in time, that it would have been reasonably practicable to present it in time, and that the claim was struck out for lack of jurisdiction.
The tribunal also found that the reasonable adjustments claim was out of time and that it was not just and equitable to allow it to proceed outside the primary time limit, so that claim was struck out for lack of jurisdiction. The section 15 Equality Act 2010 claim was also outside the primary time limit, but the tribunal found it was just and equitable to allow that claim to proceed.
The tribunal recorded that the claimant was disabled at all material times by reason of recurrent migraines.

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.
