Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a judgment on a preliminary issue in Mr L Foster's unfair dismissal claim against Omega Multi Trust Academy. At the hearing in Liverpool on 11 March 2020, Employment Judge Benson held that it was not reasonably practicable for the claim to have been presented within the time limit in section 111 of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
The tribunal also found that the claim had been presented within a further reasonable period. On that basis, the tribunal held that it had jurisdiction to consider the complaint of unfair dismissal. The judgment does not record any substantive liability findings or any monetary award.

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.
