Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a public preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Shepherd on 27 November 2020, heard remotely by CVP. Mr R Gordon appeared in person and Lookers PLC was represented by Mr Bradley.
The Tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the claim and dismissed it. The reason given was that the claim was not presented to the Tribunal before the end of the three months beginning with the effective date of termination.
The Tribunal also found that it was not satisfied that it had not been reasonably practicable for the claim to be presented within that time. No remedy was awarded because the claim was dismissed at the jurisdiction stage.

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.
