Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe hearing took place by video before Employment Judge P Klimov sitting alone. The claimant represented herself and the respondent was represented by a solicitor.
The Tribunal recorded that the correct name of the respondent was National Westminster Bank plc. It found that it did not have jurisdiction to consider the claimant's claim because it was presented outside the three months' time limit, was not presented within a reasonable period thereafter, and it had been reasonably practicable for the claimant to present it within the three months' time limit.
For that reason, the claim was dismissed. No remedy was awarded.

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.
