Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing on 14 November 2019, Employment Judge Harfield, sitting alone, considered only whether Mr S Coles’s unfair dismissal claim had been presented in time. The tribunal found that the claim was not presented within the primary time limit.
The tribunal further found that it was not reasonably practicable for the claim to be presented within the primary time limit, and that it was presented within such further period as the tribunal considered reasonable. On that basis, the unfair dismissal claim was allowed to proceed to a full hearing. No merits findings or monetary award were made in this decision.

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.
