The tribunal said that claim was presented outside the time limits in the Employment Rights Act 1996 and the Employment Tribunals Extension of Jurisdiction Order (England and Wales) 1994.
The claimant's claim for a redundancy payment was also not upheld and was dismissed. The tribunal further found that the respondent did not breach the claimant's contract by deducting tax and National Insurance from his severance payment, and noted that the severance-payment claim was presented outside the time limits in the Employment Tribunals Extension of Jurisdiction (England and Wales) Order 1994. 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.
