Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard by Employment Judge D Wright sitting alone at London South by video on 14 March 2025. The appellant was Dr Christiane Quernel, trading as Islanders Vets, and the respondent was Ms Sarah Pearce, formerly one of His Majesty’s Inspectors of Health and Safety.
The tribunal’s only material finding was procedural. It held that the appellant filed the ET1 significantly out of time and that it was reasonably practicable to file it in time. On that basis, the tribunal found that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the appeal.
The claim was therefore dismissed. The judgment records no monetary award and no substantive merits determination.

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.
