Miss H. Sheridan
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss H. Sheridan brought a claim described by the tribunal as constructive unfair dismissal against the Governing Body of Cradle Community School. The hearing took place on 5 April 2024 before Employment Judge Chudleigh, with the claimant appearing in person and Ms Foster, counsel, appearing for the respondents.
The tribunal held that the claim was presented outside the time limit in section 111 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. It found that it would have been reasonably practicable for the complaint to have been presented before the end of the time limit.
On that basis, the tribunal concluded that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the claim and dismissed it. The judgment records no monetary award or other remedy.

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.
