Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Cansick at Cambridge on 11 December 2023. The tribunal amended the respondent’s name to Network Rail Infrastructure Limited.
The only claim identified in the judgment was breach of contract. The tribunal found that the claim had been presented out of time and that it was reasonably practicable for it to have been presented in time. On that basis, the tribunal held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the claim and struck out the proceedings.
The judgment records no remedy, because the claim did not proceed beyond the jurisdiction issue.

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.
