Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard by Employment Judge P Klimov sitting alone at London Central by video on 11 March 2021. The Tribunal first recorded that the claimant had failed to comply with section 18A of the Employment Tribunals Act 1996 before presenting the claim on 30 October 2020, and the claim was rejected. On reconsideration, the Tribunal held that the original rejection was correct.
The Tribunal granted the claimant's application to amend the rejected claim so as to include ACAS Early Conciliation certificate number R212737/20/47, and treated the claim as presented on 11 March 2021. Even on that basis, the Tribunal found that it had no jurisdiction to consider the claim because it was presented outside the three-month time limit, was not presented within a reasonable period thereafter, and it was reasonably practicable for the claim to have been presented within the three-month period. The claim was therefore struck out.
The respondent's counterclaim under section 4 of the Employment Tribunals Extension of Jurisdiction Order 1994 was also struck out. The Tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to consider the counterclaim because it had no jurisdiction over the claimant's claim brought by virtue of the Order, and therefore there were no proceedings before the Tribunal.

| Other | The judgment does not specify the substantive type of the claimant's underlying claim. It was originally rejected for non-compliance with section 18A of the Employment Tribunals Act 1996, and on reconsideration the Tribunal confirmed that the original rejection was correct. After the amendment to include ACAS Early Conciliation certificate number R212737/20/47, the claim was treated as presented on 11 March 2021 but was still out of time and struck out for lack of jurisdiction. | Struck out | — | — |

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.
