Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a public preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Vowles sitting alone. The tribunal heard evidence on oath and read documents from the parties before determining the issue of jurisdiction under the unfair dismissal claim.
The sole claim was unfair dismissal under section 111 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The tribunal found that the claim had been presented after the expiry of the three month time limit and that there were no grounds to extend that time limit. On that basis, the tribunal held that it had no jurisdiction to consider the claim and dismissed it.

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.
