Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal heard Mrs Stephanie Elvin’s complaints of unfair dismissal and detriment following a public interest disclosure at Bristol by CVP on 11 July 2024. Employment Judge Hay found that both complaints had not been presented within the applicable time limits.
The tribunal further found that it had been reasonably practicable to present the complaints within time. On that basis, the tribunal did not go on to determine the substantive merits of either complaint.
Both complaints were therefore dismissed. The written record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that no separate written reasons would be provided unless requested in 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.
