CASE REF:	216/14

CLAIMANT:			Marian Marko

RESPONDENTS:		1.	Sam Spain
				2.	Thornyhill Restaurant Two Ltd

DECISION
The unanimous decision of the tribunal is set out at Paragraph 1. below.

Constitution of Tribunal:
Employment Judge:		D Buchanan
Members:				Mr J Smyth
					Ms E McFarline

Appearances:
The claimant was represented by Mr Justin Zalenski.
The respondent was represented by Mr Mark Mason, of Collective Business Services.

1(a)	The claimant’s claim of unfair dismissal against the second-named respondent is dismissed.  He did not have the necessary period of continuous employment, and the tribunal does not have jurisdiction to hear the claim.

(b)	Subject to Sub-paragraph (c) below, the claimant’s claims of sex discrimination, race discrimination, and victimisation (post-employment discrimination) against both respondents are also dismissed.  They are out of time and it is not just and equitable to extend the time-limit for bringing these claims.

(c)	The claimant’s claim of race discrimination against both respondents in respect of his dismissal from employment, which was brought within time, was dismissed after a hearing on the merits.

2	Reasons were given at the hearing.
