Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr P Bartlett brought a claim against Royal Mail Group Limited that was listed as unfair dismissal. Employment Judge S Jenkins heard the case via video on 4 August 2020.
The tribunal held that the claim was presented outside the time limit in section 111(2) of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It further found that it was reasonably practicable for the claim to have been submitted within that time limit.
On that basis, the tribunal dismissed the claim. The written record states that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in accordance with the note on the judgment.

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.
