Claimant v Takepayments Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found the complaint of unfair dismissal was not well-founded after a three-day full merits hearing. The claim was dismissed.
The complaint was not presented within the applicable time limit. The tribunal determined it was not just and equitable to extend the time limit, and therefore dismissed the claim on jurisdictional grounds.

Facts
Mr Gray brought claims of unfair dismissal, direct race discrimination, and harassment related to race against his former employer, Takepayments Limited. The case proceeded to a three-day full merits hearing before a full tribunal panel in Cardiff.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed all claims. The unfair dismissal complaint was found not well-founded on its merits. The race discrimination and harassment claims were dismissed as out of time, with the tribunal declining to extend the time limit on just and equitable grounds.
Practical note
Unrepresented claimants must be vigilant about strict time limits for discrimination claims, as tribunals will not automatically extend time even when facing represented respondents.
