Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the hearing on 3 October 2023, Employment Judge Tinnion dealt with preliminary issues in case 4103325/2023. The tribunal recorded that Mrs Elizabeth Grant's unfair dismissal claim under ss.94-98 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 was presented in time, and that her breach of contract claim, described as wrongful dismissal/notice pay, was also presented in time.
The judgment also records that the tribunal had no jurisdiction to consider a separate complaint stated as: 'My employer by the use of social media has blacken my character and reduced my chances of further employment.' That complaint was struck out under Rule 37(1)(a).
Reasons were given orally at the hearing, and the written record does not include further findings on the merits of the unfair dismissal or breach of contract claims, nor any award of compensation. The judgment was entered in the register on 10 October 2023.

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.
