Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMartin Pearson resigned from his employment with the respondent on 31 March 2022 and issued his claim on 11 December 2022. The tribunal recorded that his ACAS early conciliation certificate was dated 1 November 2022, so the claims were presented outside the limitation period. The tribunal said it had no jurisdiction to deal with the claims unless time was extended.
The claimant's application to extend time was refused. As a result, the tribunal dismissed the constructive unfair dismissal claim and the sex discrimination claim. The judgment also records that the harassment complaint was dismissed upon withdrawal. The respondent's name was amended by consent to The Chief Constable of Lincolnshire Police.

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.
