Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing held at Exeter on 3 November 2023, Employment Judge Smail heard the claim brought by Mrs S. Tuft, as personal representative of the estate of Andrew Tuft, deceased, against Plymouth City Council. The judgment records that the claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by Mr S. Keen of counsel.
The tribunal dismissed the claimant’s complaints because they were presented out of time. The judgment does not record any substantive determination on the merits of the complaints, and notes that full oral reasons were given at the hearing. Any request for written reasons was to be made within 14 days of the judgment being sent to the parties.

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.
