Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr P Sporne brought a claim for unfair dismissal against British Horseracing Authority Limited. At the hearing on 30 May 2022, Tribunal Judge A Jack held that the claim had been brought outside the statutory time limit in section 111 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
Because the claim was out of time, the Tribunal found that it had no jurisdiction to hear the unfair dismissal claim. The judgment therefore disposed of the claim on limitation grounds and did not reach the merits of dismissal or any remedy issues.

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.
