Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr John Blackwood’s claim against Jay Decorators Ltd was heard at Manchester Employment Tribunal on 23 September 2020, with the claimant appearing in person and the respondent not attending. The judgment records that the case was heard remotely by video and that it was heard alongside claim 2406005/2019 brought by the claimant’s son against the same respondent.
The tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the claim because it had been brought outside the time limit set out in section 23 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. On that basis, the claim was dismissed. The judgment gives no monetary award and records no further findings on the merits of the underlying 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.
