Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs Gibson was dismissed from her employment on 23 December 2019. She informed the respondent on 12 March 2020 that, if she did not hear from him by 16 March 2020, she would commence proceedings, but she did not notify Acas until 27 April 2020 and did not present her Employment Tribunal claim until 28 April 2020.
Employment Judge Allen held that the statutory time limit expired on 23 March 2020. The tribunal found no reasonable grounds to justify extending time, so the claim filed on 28 April 2020 was dismissed because it was out of time and the tribunal had no jurisdiction to hear 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.
