Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the preliminary hearing on 9 October 2023 before Employment Judge Skehan, the tribunal held that Mr A Matthews' unfair dismissal claim against Scobie Maintenance Limited was not presented within the applicable time limit. The tribunal found that it was reasonably practicable for the claim to have been presented in time.
On that basis, the unfair dismissal claim was dismissed. The judgment states that there was no other claim within the litigation.
The written record also states that oral reasons were given at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested within 14 days of the sending of the decision.

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.
