Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr F Griffin, brought an unfair dismissal claim against Wms Morrison Supermarkets plc. The hearing took place at Birmingham by hybrid hearing on 10 December 2020 before Employment Judge Self, with the claimant appearing in person and Miss I Ferber appearing for the first respondent.
The tribunal found that the unfair dismissal claim had been lodged outside the statutory time limit. It further found that it was reasonably practicable for the claim to have been presented in time. On that basis, the tribunal concluded that it had no jurisdiction to consider the claim.
The unfair dismissal claim was therefore dismissed. No monetary award was made.

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.
