Key findings
Tribunal's reasoningAt a preliminary hearing by video in Glasgow on 7 November 2024, Employment Judge M Whitcombe considered a preliminary issue only. The claimant, Mr Roy Sandeman-Charles, appeared in person and the respondent, Bestway Panacea Holdings Limited trading as Well Pharmacy, was represented by counsel.
The tribunal found that the complaint of unfair dismissal had been received outside the time limit defined by section 111 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. On that basis, it held that it had no jurisdiction to hear the complaint and dismissed it. Oral reasons were given in the presence of both parties.

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.
