Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningEmployment Judge Morton, sitting alone at London South, held that the claimant's unfair dismissal and breach of contract claims were presented outside the relevant three-month limitation periods. For unfair dismissal, the tribunal applied s111(2)(a) Employment Rights Act 1996 and found that the claimant had not shown it was not reasonably practicable to present the claim in time. For breach of contract, the tribunal applied Article 7 of the Employment Tribunal Extension of Jurisdiction Order 1994 and reached the same conclusion on time limits.
The judgment also states that the claimant's discrimination claims were presented outside the three-month time limit in s123(1) Equality Act 2010, as extended by ACAS early conciliation. The tribunal found that the claimant had not shown any reason why it would be just and equitable to extend time. Because the claims were out of time and no extension was allowed, the tribunal held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear them and dismissed all claims.

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.
