Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningOn 5 March 2021, at a remote hearing before Employment Judge Postle, the tribunal considered whether Mrs M Greenfield's automatic unfair dismissal claim and claim for wages were in time. It held that the ACAS early conciliation certificate dated 19 March 2020 meant the tribunal deadline was 19 April 2020, but the claim was not filed until 24 April 2020.
The tribunal found it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to have presented both claims within the three-month period plus the ACAS extension. The claims were therefore out of time and were dismissed. No monetary remedy was awarded.

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.
