Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs Bata’s complaints were for failure to pay holiday pay and outstanding wages. The tribunal noted that her last day of work was 13 December 2019 and that her ACAS certificate was dated 24 March 2020. The claim was brought on 24 July 2020.
The tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the complaints because they were issued outside the relevant time limits. It referred to section 23 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and Regulation 30 of the Working Time Regulations 1998. As a result, the claims were struck out and any hearing dates were cancelled.

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.
