Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr T Blackham brought a single unfair dismissal claim against Ground Control Ltd. The hearing was conducted remotely by CVP before Employment Judge W A Allen QC on 24 November 2021, with the claimant appearing in person and the respondent represented by Ms Keyms.
The tribunal did not determine the merits of any dismissal complaint. It held that the claim was presented out of time and that it was reasonably practicable for the claim to have been brought in time. On that basis, the tribunal found that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the unfair dismissal claim.
The judgment states that the claim therefore could not proceed. No compensation or other remedy was awarded.

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.
