JUDGMENT
[1]This judgment applies to the Claimant’s claims that were raised and considered before me at the Tribunal Hearing. These claims were:a. automatic unfair dismissal by reasons of raising a protected disclosure pursuant to section 103A of the Employment Rights Act 1996 (“the ERA”);b. detriment on the grounds of making a public interest disclosure pursuant to Section 48 of the ERA;c. unfair dismissal pursuant to Section 111 of the ERA;d. disability discrimination pursuant to Sections 13 and 15 of the Equality Act 2010 (“the EQA”); ande. sex discrimination pursuant to Section 13 of the EQA.[2]The claims of detriment and automatic unfair dismissal pursuant to Section 48 and Section 103A of the ERA were raised outside of the relevant time limit and it was reasonably practicable for the Claimant to present the claims within that period. The Tribunal lacked jurisdiction to hear these claims.[3]The claims of disability and sex discrimination which arose prior to 14th August 2023 were raised outside the relevant time limit within Section 123 of the EQA and it was not just and equitable to extend the time limit for presentation of these claims. The Tribunal lacked jurisdiction to hear these claims.[4]All of the remaining claims were not well-founded and were dismissed. 10.2 Judgment - rule 60 Case No: 6002562/2023[5]The Claimant also raised a claim of Equal Pay. This did not feature as part of the hearing as it was agreed it would be considered at a separate hearing. A separate Order has been raised in relation to this claim.
