Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal heard the respondent’s application to strike out Mr A Armah’s unfair dismissal claim against ABM Facility Services UK Ltd. It found that the effective date of termination was no later than 21 November 2020, but the claim was not presented until 7 March 2021. On that basis, the claim was out of time. The tribunal also found that the ACAS early conciliation process did not assist because it was commenced outside the primary time limit.

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.
