Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing, the tribunal considered only the claimant's breach of contract complaint. It held that it had no jurisdiction to hear that complaint because it was not presented within the time limit set out in Article 7 of the Employment Tribunal Extension of Jurisdiction (England & Wales) Order 1994.
The tribunal further found that it would have been reasonably practicable for the claim to have been presented in time. On that basis, the breach of contract claim was dismissed.

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.
