Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal considered Mr O’Connor’s unfair dismissal claim against Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust. It first amended the Respondent’s name by consent to Shrewsbury and Telford Hospital NHS Trust.
The Tribunal held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the unfair dismissal claim because it had been presented out of time. It found that it had been reasonably practicable for the Claimant to have lodged the claim in time.
As a result, the claim was struck out and the proceedings against the Respondent were dismissed. 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.
