Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought a claim of unfair dismissal against the Department for Work and Pensions. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by counsel.
The Tribunal found that the unfair dismissal claim had been presented out of time. It also found that it was reasonably practicable for the claim to have been presented within time. On that basis, the Tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the claim and dismissed it.

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.
