Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal claim as out of time.
It found that it had been reasonably practicable for the claim to have been presented by 23 October 2019. The tribunal also found that, if it had not been reasonably practicable to present the claim by that date, the further period until presentation on 28 January 2020 was unreasonably long. The claimant therefore did not meet either limb of the statutory test for extending time.

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.
