Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a remote preliminary hearing in Manchester on 19 May 2021, Employment Judge Warren sitting alone considered whether Mr A Harris’s claim had been presented in time. The tribunal recorded that the claim was presented outside the primary time limit for presentation.
The tribunal found that it was not reasonably practicable for the claim to be brought in time. It therefore extended time from 22 September 2020 to 1 October 2020, the date the claim was received by the Tribunal, and held that it had jurisdiction to hear the claim.
After that ruling, the tribunal moved on to discuss the issues in the case and to agree case management orders, which were recorded in a separate order dated 11 June 2021. No substantive merits decision or monetary award was made in this judgment.

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.
