Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal considered whether allegations about return-to-work interviews and one-to-one meetings about annual leave or sick leave should be struck out as out of time. The claimant accepted that several other out-of-time allegations should be struck out, and the remaining disputed allegations all pre-dated 24 February 2025.
The tribunal found there was no act in time relating to return-to-work meetings or meetings about annual leave or sick leave, and no link between those allegations and the claims that were in time. It concluded the claimant had no reasonable prospect of establishing a continuing series of acts.
The tribunal also considered whether it was just and equitable to extend time. It found that the claimant had not explained why she had not brought the claims earlier and had not persuaded the tribunal to extend time, so the remaining disputed allegations were struck out.
Claims and outcomes
1 finding recorded| Claim type | Issue or finding | Outcome | Protected characteristic | Award |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Race discrimination | The judgment concerns strike-out of allegations in list of issues paragraphs 4.1.7, 4.1.8, 4.1.13, 5.2.7, 5.2.8, 5.2.13, paragraph 6, and paragraphs 4.1.10, 4.1.12, 5.2.10 and 5.2.12 as out of time. The PDF text does not set out the full list-of-issues headings, so the claim type follows the judgment listing category and references to discriminatory meetings. | Struck out | Race | — |

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.
