Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe matter was an appeal by Direct International Ltd against HMRC. The Tribunal recorded that the correct name of the appellant was Direct International Ltd.
The Tribunal considered the timing requirement in section 19 of the National Minimum Wage Act 1998 for an appeal against a notice of underpayment. It found the notice had been personally served on 16 January 2017, so the appeal should have been lodged by 14 February 2017, but it was lodged on 15 February 2017.
The Tribunal stated that section 19 contains no provision allowing an extension of time on reasonable practicability or just and equitable grounds. Because the appeal was lodged out of time, the Tribunal found it had no jurisdiction and struck out the appeal.

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.
