Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal dismissed the Claimant's unfair dismissal claims. It found that the claims were presented outside the statutory time limit.
The Tribunal also found that it was reasonably practicable for the claims to have been presented in time. On that basis, it held that it had no jurisdiction to consider them. Reasons were given orally at the hearing, with written reasons to be provided only if requested within the stated period.

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.
