Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe preliminary hearing judgment recorded that the unfair dismissal claim covered the entirety of the complaint. The tribunal found that the claim was out of time because it had not been presented in accordance with section 111(2)(a) of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
The tribunal further found that it had been reasonably practicable for the claimant to present the claim within the statutory time limit. On that basis, the tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the complaint and dismissed the proceedings.

How we got this data
Case essentials (reference, date, judge, venue, country, claim categories) are extracted from the structured metadata gov.uk publishes alongside each decision. Parties and monetary figures are extracted from the judgment PDF text. Key findings and per-claim outcomes require a second extraction pass that is not yet complete for this case — until then, the primary source linked above is the authoritative record.
