Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe case was heard at Liverpool on 8 October 2019 before Employment Judge Buzzard. The tribunal dealt with the matter as a preliminary hearing and considered whether the claimant's claims had been presented within the applicable time limit.
The tribunal found that the claimant's claims had been presented outside the time limit for presentation of claims. It further found that it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to present the claims in time. On that basis, the claims were not within the jurisdiction of the tribunal to consider.
All of the claimant's claims were therefore dismissed. No monetary remedy was awarded, and the judgment records that reasons were given orally at the hearing.

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.
