Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Mr C Masters, brought a claim of unfair dismissal against West Berkshire District Council. The hearing took place by CVP at Watford on 10 February 2022 before Employment Judge Skehan sitting alone.
The tribunal did not reach any substantive findings on the dismissal itself. It held that the claim for unfair dismissal was struck out and dismissed because the tribunal did not have jurisdiction to hear it, referring to s.111 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 as extended by s.207B.
The written record notes that reasons were given orally at the hearing and that written reasons would not be provided unless requested. No monetary award was made and no remedy was recorded.

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.
