Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs J McGeachie's claim against Tillicoultry Quarries Limited was brought under section 18 of the Equality Act 2010. The Employment Tribunal held that the claim was out of time, and therefore it did not have jurisdiction to consider it.
The tribunal was not satisfied that it would be just and equitable to extend time under section 123(1)(b) of the Equality Act 2010. On that basis, the claim was dismissed. Reasons were given orally at the hearing on 17 April 2023.

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.
