Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr T Cooper brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Greater Manchester Buses South t/a Stagecoach Manchester. The case was heard at Manchester on 12 March 2021 before Employment Judge Ainscough sitting alone.
The tribunal dismissed the claim because it was lodged outside the time limit prescribed by section 111 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The judgment records that the claim was brought in pursuance of section 94 of the 1996 Act, but the tribunal did not go on to determine the merits of the dismissal complaint.
No compensation or other monetary remedy was awarded, and the judgment does not identify any split between different heads of loss.
