Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary issue hearing on the claimant's unfair dismissal claim, heard by Employment Judge Khalil sitting alone on 10 February 2020. The respondent was Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital Trust and the claimant was Ms A Clare.
The tribunal found that it was not reasonably practicable for the claimant to have presented her unfair dismissal claim within the relevant time limit. It also found that the claim was presented within a reasonable period afterwards.
On that basis, the tribunal held that it had jurisdiction to hear the unfair dismissal claim. The judgment did not determine the merits of the dismissal claim and recorded no monetary award.

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.
