Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant did not attend the hearing. The Tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the discrimination claim because the complaint was not made within the time limit in section 123 Equality Act 2010 and it was not just and equitable to extend time.
The Tribunal also held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the breach of contract claim because the claimant was still employed by the respondent. Both claims were dismissed.

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.
