Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs M Foster brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Smurfit Kappa UK Limited. The tribunal held that the claim had not been presented within the primary limitation period. It accepted that it was not reasonably practicable for the claim to be presented within that initial period.
The tribunal nevertheless found that the claim was not presented within a further reasonable period after the expiry of the primary time limit. On that basis, the unfair dismissal claim was dismissed as out of time. No substantive merits finding on dismissal was recorded in the extracted decision, and no monetary award was made.

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.
