[1]By consent, the Claimant is an employee of the Respondent within the meaning of section 230 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.[2]By consent, the Claimant is an employee of the Respondent within the meaning of section 83 od the Equality act 2010.[3]The Claimant had a disability as defined in section 6 of the Equality Act 2010 at the time of the events relied on in the Claimant’s claims for direct disability discrimination, discrimination arising from disability, a claim for failure to make reasonable adjustments and harassment.[4]The claimant’s claim for unfair dismissal was issued outside the statutory time limit (including early conciliation extension) for such clams under section 111 Employment Rights Act 1996 and it was reasonably practicable for it to have been issued in time. The claim for unfair dismissal is therefore dismissed.[5]The claimant’s claims for sex discrimination and disability discrimination were issued outside the statutory time limit (including early conciliation extension) for such claims under section 123 of the Equality Act 2010 (taking into account only the last act of discrimination relied on) and the judgment of the Tribunal is that it is just and equitable to extend time in all Case No: 1401603/2021 the circumstances and the claimant’s claims for sex and disability can therefore proceed.
