Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal amended the respondent’s name to Accor UK Business and Leisure Hotels Ltd and dispensed with further service. Employment Judge Smailes sat alone at a remote hearing by CVP on 14 May 2021.
The only substantive claim identified in the judgment was a complaint of unlawful deduction from wages. The tribunal held that the complaint had been issued outside the statutory time limit under s.23 Employment Rights Act 1996, and that it was reasonably practicable for it to have been issued in time.
On that basis, the tribunal held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the claim and dismissed it. No monetary award was made.

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.
