Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the claimant's claims because they were presented after the end of the three-month limitation period beginning with the effective date of termination, as extended where appropriate by Early Conciliation.
In the alternative, the Tribunal stated that if that conclusion was wrong, the claims were still struck out because they were presented outside such further period as the Tribunal considered reasonable. The Tribunal found that it would have been reasonable for the claims to have been presented on or before 7 April 2019.
The Tribunal also struck out the claims on the separate ground that they had no reasonable prospects of success. Oral reasons were given at the hearing, and no written reasons are included in the judgment text supplied.

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.
