Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal considered whether the claimant's discrimination complaint had been presented within the time limit under section 123 of the Equality Act 2010. It found the claim was filed 98 days after the adjusted statutory deadline, which weighed heavily against extending time.
The tribunal accepted that the claimant did not know, and could not reasonably have known, the factual basis for the complaint until receiving the DSAR response on 15 January 2025. It found that he acted promptly after receiving those documents and that his ability to formulate the claim was affected by health-related limitations.
Balancing prejudice, the tribunal found that refusing an extension would cause the claimant to lose a cause of action, while the respondent's prejudice was modest because relevant witnesses and documents remained available. It concluded that it was just and equitable to extend time, allowing the discrimination complaint to proceed.

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.
