Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr K Hesketh, brought a claim for unfair dismissal against Royal Mail Group Ltd. The case was heard by Employment Judge A Frazer on 5 October 2021 by CVP link, with the claimant appearing in person and the respondent represented by Ms Tahir, solicitor.
The tribunal held that the unfair dismissal claim was not presented within the relevant three-month time limit. It found that it would have been reasonably practicable to present the claim within time.
On that basis, the tribunal concluded that it had no jurisdiction to hear the claim under s.111 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. No monetary remedy was awarded.

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.
