Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a preliminary hearing in public before Employment Judge L Brown on 4 January 2024. The claimant, Mr Ali McFarlane, appeared in person and the respondent, Milton Keynes University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, was represented by counsel. The tribunal gave its judgment orally at the hearing and later issued the written record.
The tribunal decided that both claims were out of time. It held that the claims of unfair dismissal contrary to section 98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and unauthorised deductions from wages contrary to section 13 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 were not presented within the applicable time limit.
The tribunal also found that it was reasonably practicable for the claims to have been presented in time. On that basis, both the unfair dismissal claim and the unauthorised deductions from wages claim were dismissed. The judgment records no monetary award.

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.
