Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt the preliminary hearing on 3 February 2022 before Employment Judge Shona MacLean, Miss C Hanlin's unfair dismissal complaint against Brite Services (Scotland) Limited was found to have been presented out of time under the three-month limit from the effective date of termination. The tribunal found that it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to lodge the claim in time, and on that basis held that it did not have jurisdiction under section 111 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 to hear the unfair dismissal complaint.
The judgment also records that a claim under the Equality Act 2010 was presented within a period the tribunal found just and equitable under section 123(1)(b). That issue was not finally determined on the merits at this hearing, and the case was to be listed for a case management preliminary hearing by telephone on a date to be advised.

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.
