Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe only issue recorded in the judgment was time limit for the unfair dismissal claim under s.111(2)(a) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The tribunal noted that the claim was not presented within the ordinary limitation period.
The tribunal was satisfied, however, that it was not reasonably practicable for the claim to be presented before the end of that period. On that basis, it found that the unfair dismissal claim had been presented within a reasonable time period. The judgment does not record any merits determination or any monetary award.

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.
