Case Summary

The case involved claims of unfair dismissal and discrimination (direct and indirect disability), failure to make reasonable adjustments, victimisation, and harassment. The employment judge dismissed the application for strike out but extended time for claims that were out of time due to just and equitable reasons.

Why this outcome?

The tribunal extended time for out-of-time claims on just and equitable grounds, allowing the claims to proceed. The strike-out application was dismissed, meaning the claims were not struck out and continued to a hearing on their merits.
