Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal considered a single claim of unfair dismissal by Mr W Barber-Starkey against Buccaneer Holdings Limited. It found that it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to bring the claim within the statutory time limit set by section 111(2) of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
The claim had been lodged six months outside that time limit. On that basis, the tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to consider the unfair dismissal claim and dismissed it. No monetary remedy was awarded or recorded in the judgment.

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.
