Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal claim for lack of jurisdiction. It found that the claim was not presented within the three-month period beginning with the effective date of termination, and that it had been reasonably practicable for the claimant to bring the claim within that period.
The tribunal also dismissed the age discrimination claim for lack of jurisdiction. It found that proceedings were brought after the three-month period starting with the alleged act of discrimination and that it was not just and equitable to extend time.

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.
