Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing on 2 August 2022 at Croydon by CVP, Employment Judge Manley considered the claimant's only jurisdictional complaints against Mitchells and Butlers Retail Ltd, namely unlawful deduction from wages and breach of contract. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by Ms L Leach, employee relations manager.
The tribunal found that the claim form had been presented out of time. It also found that the claimant had not shown that it was not reasonably practicable to present the complaints in time. On that basis, the claim was dismissed. No remedy was awarded.

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.
