Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Mr M Yavuzel's race discrimination claims had been presented out of time. The tribunal considered whether to extend time in respect of the allegations relied upon, which concerned events on 10 October 2024.

Employment Judge J Bax held that it was just and equitable to extend time in relation to those allegations. The tribunal therefore had jurisdiction to hear the race discrimination claims. The judgment records no decision on their merits and no remedy award.

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.
