Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs G Whitfield brought claims of unfair dismissal and breach of contract in relation to notice against Scot Group Limited T/A Thrifty Car & Van Rental. The tribunal recorded that both claims were presented out of time.
The tribunal found it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to have presented the claims in time. On that basis, the tribunal held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear either claim.
Both claims were therefore struck out. No remedy was awarded, and the judgment records only the jurisdictional decision at this stage.

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.
