Claimant v Stirling Council

The facemask/lanyard issue (October-November 2020) was struck out as time-barred. The claim was lodged over 3.5 years late. The tribunal found the delay was not adequately explained by the claimant's assertion he was waiting for internal resolution, and found it not just and equitable to extend time given the significant delay, fading of evidence, and limited prejudice to the claimant as other claims proceed.

The lack of support issue (November 2020) was struck out as time-barred. The claim was lodged over 3.5 years late. The tribunal rejected the claimant's explanation that he was waiting for internal resolution, noting he was aware of time limits and had a period of fitness in 2021-2022 when he could have acted but did not.

The book issue (23 December 2020) was struck out as time-barred. The claim was lodged over 3.5 years late. The tribunal found the claimant did not act promptly despite believing the conduct was discriminatory from the outset, and found it not just and equitable to extend time.

The prescription medication issue (from June 2022 onwards) was accepted by the respondent as arguably a continuing act, so was not time-barred. This claim will proceed to a full merits hearing to determine the substantive issues arising from the claimant accessing prescribed cannabis-based medication on the respondent's premises.
