Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Emerton, sitting alone at Southampton on 28 November 2019, dealt with Mrs C E Burtwell's unfair dismissal claim against Isle of Wight NHS Trust. The tribunal dismissed the claim for want of jurisdiction.
The stated reason was that the claim was out of time. The tribunal found that it was reasonably practical for the claim to have been presented within the applicable time limit, so the jurisdictional objection succeeded and the unfair dismissal claim did not proceed on the merits.
The record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days of the written record being sent.

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.
