Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

Mr G Williams brought an unfair dismissal claim against ASDA Stores Limited. At the Bristol video hearing on 19 December 2023, Employment Judge Ferguson held that the claim had not been presented within the applicable time limit, but that it was not reasonably practicable to present it in time.

The tribunal found that the claim was presented within a further reasonable period and therefore allowed it to proceed to a final hearing. This decision did not determine the substantive merits of the unfair dismissal claim and did not record any monetary award; notice of the final hearing was to be sent in due course.

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.
