Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe tribunal heard the matter on 12 October 2020 before Employment Judge Russell. It found that it was reasonably practicable for Mr Archer to present his unfair dismissal claim within time, but he did not do so. On that basis, the unfair dismissal claim was dismissed.
The tribunal also found that the race discrimination claim had been presented out of time. However, it decided that it was just and equitable to extend time so that the race discrimination claim in respect of dismissal only could be heard by the Employment Tribunal. This judgment records a limitation decision only and does not determine the merits of that discrimination complaint.

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.
