Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr M Little, brought a claim for detriment for public interest disclosure against the Chief Constable of West Mercia Police. Employment Judge Kelly sat alone at the Midlands West Employment Tribunal, heard the case by video on 13 March 2025, and gave judgment orally for reasons given at the hearing.
The Tribunal dismissed the claim on jurisdictional grounds. It found that the claim had not been presented in time and that the Tribunal would not extend time, so it did not have jurisdiction to consider the claim. No remedy was awarded.

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.
