Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing in Liverpool on 27 April 2021, Employment Judge Horne held that the claimant had presented the claim after the expiry of the statutory time limit. The tribunal found that it was reasonably practicable for her to have presented the claim before the time limit expired.
On that basis, the tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to consider the claim and no power to extend the time limit. The judgment records that the hearing was conducted remotely by video platform, with neither party objecting to that format. Oral reasons were given at the hearing, and written reasons would only be provided if requested within 14 days.

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.
