Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing on 12 November 2019, Employment Judge W Beard considered the claimant's claim against Gower College Swansea. The issue decided was whether the claim had been presented within the time limit in section 111(2) of the Employment Rights Act 1996, or whether there was any basis to allow it to proceed out of time.
The tribunal held that it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to present the claim within the statutory time limit. It therefore concluded that it had no jurisdiction to hear the claim presented after that period, and the claim was dismissed.

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.
