Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningMs D Robinson brought a breach of contract complaint against Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust. The case was heard in Liverpool on 10 March 2025 before Employment Judge Shotter, sitting alone. The respondent was represented by a solicitor and the claimant appeared in person.
The Tribunal held that the complaint, received on 4 September 2024, was not presented before the end of the 3-month period beginning with 28 March 2024, which was treated as the effective date of termination of employment. It found that it was reasonably practicable for the complaint to have been presented within that period.
The Tribunal also found that the complaint was not presented within such further period as it considered reasonable. On that basis, the Tribunal said it did not have jurisdiction to consider the breach of contract complaint, and the claim was dismissed.

| Breach of contract | The claim was received on 4 September 2024 and was found to have been presented outside the 3-month period beginning with 28 March 2024, the effective date of termination. The Tribunal found it was reasonably practicable to present the complaint within that period and that it was not presented within a further reasonable period, so the Tribunal lacked jurisdiction. | Dismissed | — | — |
