Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary issue judgment in the Claimant’s unfair dismissal claim against IBM United Kingdom Limited. Employment Judge Millard heard the matter in Bristol on 28 January 2021 and decided the question of territorial jurisdiction only.
The Tribunal held that it had territorial jurisdiction to consider the Claimant’s complaint of unfair dismissal. The judgment does not determine the merits of the dismissal claim; it records only that the claim will proceed in accordance with the case management order of the same date.

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.
