Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMiss C Read brought a claim for unfair dismissal against Howden Joinery Ltd. The hearing took place at Manchester by CVP on 6 February 2025 before Judge Callan, with the claimant appearing in person and the respondent represented by counsel.
The Tribunal dismissed the unfair dismissal claim. It found that the claim had been submitted out of time in circumstances where it was reasonably practicable for it to have been lodged within time, and therefore held that it lacked jurisdiction to hear the claim.
No remedy or monetary award was recorded. The judgment states that oral reasons were given at the hearing and that written reasons would only be provided if requested within the stated time period.

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.
