Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal recorded that Mr C Duncan's unfair dismissal claim against the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs and the individual respondents had been presented outside the statutory time limit.
Employment Judge Carney found that it had not been reasonably practicable for the unfair dismissal claim to have been presented within the original time limit. However, the claim was not presented within such further period as was reasonable. The Tribunal therefore dismissed the unfair dismissal claim because it had no jurisdiction to consider it.
No monetary remedy was awarded. The written judgment records no adjudicated outcome for any public interest disclosure or unlawful deduction from wages complaint.

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.
