The tribunal found that it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to have presented the claim in time under s.111 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. On that basis, it held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the claim and dismissed it.

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.
