Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe claimant, Ms I Collier, brought a claim of unlawful deductions from wages against Direct Medics Limited. The tribunal recorded that it was not disputed that the claim had been presented out of time.
After hearing from the parties, Employment Judge Norris found that it had been reasonably practicable for the claim to have been presented within the statutory time limit and that it was not presented within a reasonable period after that time had expired. Accordingly, under section 23 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, the tribunal held that it did not have jurisdiction to hear the claim and struck it out.

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.
