  • Hi all who have commented.

    I have now found someone who was given the small claims track with half a day allocated to it, for max compensation plus action (an injunction in other words) but the judge took all day to decide to throw it out. There is a 6-month time limit from the discrimination to initiating court action, and because the person had gone back and forth with the local authority for a year or more to try to resolve it, the judge took the start date as then.  The claimant had thought they were working with the authority but it turned out they were just fobbing them off.

    Fortunately the person who intends to a claim has had no dialogue with the local authority.

    Which could possibly go against them for not trying to resolve.

    So why on earth are they asking about court procedure? Courts will throw out any sort of claim if there has been no previous attempt to resolve it.
