Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal decided only a preliminary jurisdiction issue in Mr T Cook’s unfair dismissal claim against The National Trust for Places of Historic Interest or Natural Beauty. It held that the claim form had been presented out of time and that it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to have presented the claim in time.
On that basis, the tribunal found that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the unfair dismissal claim and dismissed it. The decision records that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that no written reasons would be provided unless requested in time.

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.
