Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr E Bassaragh, brought an unfair dismissal claim against Birmingham Children’s Trust. At a hybrid hearing on 18 March 2022, Employment Judge Fitzgerald held that the tribunal did not have jurisdiction to hear the claim because it had been presented out of time.
The tribunal found that it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to have lodged the claim in time. On that basis, the unfair dismissal claim was struck out.
The judgment records that the proceedings against the respondent were dismissed. No monetary remedy was awarded, and the written record states that reasons had been given orally at the hearing.

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.
