Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr A Macdonald brought a claim for unfair dismissal against National Holidays Limited. The tribunal found that the time limit for presenting the claim expired on 11 August 2019, but the claim was not presented until 13 October 2019.
The tribunal held that the claimant did not establish that it was not reasonably practicable for him to present the claim in time. On that basis, the unfair dismissal claim was dismissed because the tribunal had no jurisdiction to hear 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.
