Respondent
Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant's unfair dismissal claim was dismissed as a jurisdictional matter. Employment Judge Johnson held that when the claim form was presented to the tribunal on 15 March 2019, the claimant had not yet been dismissed by the respondent, so the tribunal had no jurisdiction to hear the unfair dismissal claim.
The judgment records that, in accordance with Rule 12(1)(a) of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure, the unfair dismissal claim should be rejected. The claimant's remaining claim of disability discrimination was expressly stated to be unaffected by this judgment and remained to be determined.

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.
