Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

At an open preliminary hearing, the tribunal considered whether the claimant's unfair dismissal claim could proceed despite being brought outside the applicable time limits.

Employment Judge Mark Butler found that it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to bring the claim within time. Because the claimant failed to do so, the tribunal held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the claim, and the claim was dismissed.

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.
