Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMr Andrew Wilkinson brought claims of unfair dismissal and wrongful dismissal against Succession Employee Benefits Solutions Limited. The tribunal heard the case remotely on 17 February 2022 and 20 June 2022 before Employment Judge Tobin. It decided that both claims had been presented outside the applicable time limits.
For unfair dismissal under s.94 Employment Rights Act 1996, the tribunal found that the claim was out of time under s.111 Employment Rights Act 1996. It further found that it was reasonably practicable for the claim to have been presented within the time limit and that, in any event, it was not presented within such further period as the tribunal considered reasonable.
For wrongful dismissal, described as breach of contract under the Employment Tribunals Extension of Jurisdiction (England & Wales) Order 1994, the tribunal made the same finding under s.7 of that Order. It held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the complaints brought on 23 April 2021, and the proceedings were dismissed.

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.
