Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal found that the claimant had failed to bring his unfair dismissal claim within the statutory time limit set out in section 111 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
It found that it had been reasonably practicable for the claimant to bring the claim within that time limit. On that basis, the tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to consider the unfair dismissal 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.
