Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal recorded that the claimant did not attend the hearing. The respondent was represented by a solicitor.
The claim before the tribunal was unfair dismissal. The tribunal found that the claim had been lodged outside the applicable time limit. Because the claimant failed to show that it was not reasonably practicable to have brought the claim in time, the tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the claim and dismissed it.

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.
