Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Ms GC Graham, brought claims of unlawful sex discrimination, unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal (breach of contract notice pay), and redundancy payment against Cumbria County Council. The judgment records that the sex discrimination complaint was dismissed on withdrawal.
The tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal and wrongful dismissal claims because they were not presented before the end of the 3-month period beginning with the effective date of termination of employment. It found that it was reasonably practicable for a complaint to have been presented within that period and that the claims were not presented within any further period the tribunal considered reasonable.
The redundancy payment claim was also dismissed as time-barred. The tribunal found that it was not presented before the end of the 6-month period beginning with the effective date of termination of employment, that it was reasonably practicable for the claim to have been presented in time, and that it was not presented within any further reasonable period.

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.
