Key findings

The Tribunal concluded that it had no jurisdiction to hear the unfair dismissal claim because it was reasonably practicable for the Claimant to have lodged the claim in time. The claim was struck out and the proceedings against the Respondent were dismissed.

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.
