Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr M Groom, brought a claim of unfair dismissal against the Maritime and Coastguard Agency. The tribunal, sitting at Bristol by CVP before Employment Judge Christensen, held that the claim was out of time and dismissed it.
The reason given was that the tribunal was not satisfied that it was not reasonably practicable for the claim to have been presented within the limitation period set out in s.111 Employment Rights Act. No substantive unfair dismissal findings or remedy assessment were made because the limitation issue was निर्णative.
The judgment records no monetary award and no split between heads of loss. It is a time-limit dismissal only.

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.
