Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThis was a record of a preliminary hearing heard at Midlands East, Leicester, on 24 September 2025 before Employment Judge Broughton. The claimant, Mr Colden, appeared in person and there was no attendance for the respondent, J & S Marketing Ltd (In Creditors Voluntary Liquidation).
The Tribunal struck out the claims of unfair dismissal, breach of contract and unlawful deduction of wages under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal (Constitution & Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2024. The reason given was that the claims were presented outside the relevant statutory time limits, so the Tribunal had no jurisdiction to consider them.
The judgment records that reasons were given orally at the hearing. It also notes that written reasons would not be provided unless requested in accordance with the note set out in the written record.

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.
