Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal struck out the Claimant's claim because it had no jurisdiction to hear her complaints. It determined that the complaint had been presented outside the time limit imposed by s.111(2) Employment Rights Act 1996.
The Tribunal further determined that it was reasonably practicable for the Claimant to present the claim within the primary time limit. It also found that, in any event, the claim was not presented before the end of any further period that the Tribunal considered reasonable.

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.
