Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs C Warren brought a claim against Rochdale Borough Council alleging unfair dismissal under sections 95 and 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and/or section 103A. At the hearing before Employment Judge K M Ross on 9 February 2023, the tribunal held that the unfair dismissal claim had been presented outside the time limit.
The tribunal found it was reasonably practicable for the claim to have been presented within the time limit. On that basis, it held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the unfair dismissal claim and dismissed it.
The written judgment also records that claims for public interest disclosure detriment under section 47B of the Employment Rights Act 1996 had been identified, but the tribunal did not determine those claims in this decision. Instead, it directed that there would be a separate hearing to decide whether those claims were presented within the applicable time limits.

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.
