Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

This was a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge S Moore on 16 August 2022. The Claimant did not attend. The Respondent argued that the Tribunal lacked jurisdiction because the Claimant had not undertaken ACAS Early Conciliation, that the breach of contract claim was time-barred, and that the statutory redundancy pay claim had no reasonable prospect of success.

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.
