Key findings

Tribunal's reasoning

The Tribunal dismissed Mr K J Orton's unfair dismissal claim because it was not presented within the period set by section 111(2)(a) of the Employment Rights Act 1996, as extended by section 207B to allow for early conciliation. It found that it was reasonably practicable for Mr Orton to have presented the claim within that 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.
