Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr B Hawkley-Holt brought a claim of unfair dismissal against Booking.com Transport Limited. The hearing was at Manchester on 24 May 2021 before Employment Judge Newstead Taylor sitting alone. By consent, the respondent’s name was amended to Booking.com Transport Limited.
The tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the unfair dismissal claim because it had been presented outside the time limit prescribed by s.111 Employment Rights Act 1996. On that basis, the claim was dismissed in its entirety. The written record notes that reasons had been given orally at the hearing and that no written reasons would be provided unless requested within 14 days.

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.
