Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The tribunal heard the case at Watford by CVP on 13 and 14 October 2022 before Tribunal Judge Peer acting as an Employment Judge. It held that the claimant's claims for unfair dismissal, unlawful deduction from wages and breach of contract were presented out of time, with the result that the tribunal had no jurisdiction to hear them. Those three claims were therefore dismissed.

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.
