Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge C H O'Rourke, the Tribunal dismissed the claimant's unfair dismissal claim for want of jurisdiction because it had been brought out of time.
The Tribunal extended time to permit the claimant to bring her disability discrimination claim. It also found that the claimant was disabled, due to PTSD, at the material time. The written record states that reasons were given orally and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested.

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.
