Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr J Wallace brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Go Car Credit Ltd. The case was heard by Employment Judge Reed sitting alone at Southampton on 29 to 30 July 2020 by video conference. The respondent was represented by Mr R Jones, Solicitor, and the claimant appeared in person.
The tribunal did not determine the substance of any dismissal complaint. Instead, it found that the unfair dismissal claim was not presented within three months beginning with the effective date of termination of employment. The tribunal further found that it was reasonably practicable for the claim to have been presented within that time.
On that basis, the unfair dismissal claim was dismissed. No monetary award was made and the written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing, with no written reasons to follow unless requested within 14 days.

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.
