Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal held that the claimant's claim had been issued outside the statutory time limit for such claims under s.111 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.

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.
