Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing in public before Employment Judge Taylor on 26 March 2025. The tribunal dealt only with the limitation issue, not the substantive merits of the claim. The claimant was Mr F Forde and the respondent was St Giles Trust.
The tribunal found that the claim was not presented within the applicable time limit. However, it held that it was not reasonably practicable to present the claim within that time limit. The tribunal also found that the claim was presented within a further reasonable period.
On that basis, the claim was allowed to proceed. The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in accordance with the tribunal's note.

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.
