Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningThe Tribunal recorded that the claim was one of constructive unfair dismissal. The claimant's employment began on 1 April 2014, he resigned on 21 March 2022, contacted Acas on 26 May 2025, and presented the claim on 7 June 2025.
The Tribunal found that the claim was presented over three years out of time. It accepted the claimant had a diagnosis of depression and later ADHD, but found there was no satisfactory explanation for why he was unable to present the claim within the primary time limit or within a reasonable period afterwards.
The Tribunal concluded that it was reasonably practicable for the claim to have been presented in time and that the later delay was not reasonable. The claim was therefore dismissed.

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.
