Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing held by video in Dundee on 2 March 2026 before Employment Judge M Whitcombe. Miss Deborah Shearer appeared in person and the Scottish Ambulance Service Board was represented by Mr Ian Wells, solicitor.
The Tribunal held that both complaints, namely unauthorised deductions from wages and disability discrimination, had been presented outside the applicable statutory time limits. As a result, the Tribunal found that it had no jurisdiction to hear either complaint.
Both claims were therefore dismissed. Oral summary reasons were given in the presence of the parties or their representatives.

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.
