Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe only adjudicated claim identified in the judgment was unfair dismissal. The tribunal held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear that claim because it was presented after the expiry of the normal time limit under 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 unfair dismissal claim was not allowed to proceed.

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.
