Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant brought claims following Early Conciliation from 31 January 2019 to 21 February 2019. The judgment records that his unfair dismissal claim had previously been rejected because he had insufficient service, leaving a breach of contract claim concerning notice pay.
Neither party attended the final hearing on 9 December 2019. The tribunal waited until 11:30am, made enquiries through tribunal staff, and considered the papers under Rule 47 and the overriding objective.
The tribunal found that, using the termination date of 20 April 2019 and the Early Conciliation period, the claim should have been presented by 12 May 2019 but was not presented until 17 May 2019. It found the claim out of time and that there was no information showing it had not been reasonably practicable to present it in time. It also found that, even if time could be extended, the breach of contract claim had no reasonable prospects of success because the claimant had not provided evidence in support and had not actively pursued the matter.

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.
