Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMrs D Murby presented complaints of unfair dismissal, breach of contract and failure to pay holiday pay. At the open preliminary hearing on 2 August 2021, sitting remotely by video before Employment Judge Faulkner alone, the Tribunal considered whether those complaints had been lodged in time.
The Tribunal found that it was not satisfied that it had not been reasonably practicable for the claims to be presented within the normal time limit. It also found that the claims had not been presented within such further period after expiry of the normal time limit as the Tribunal considered reasonable.
On that basis, all three complaints were dismissed. The judgment records no merits findings and no monetary award, because the claims failed on limitation grounds at the preliminary stage.

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.
