Dismissed on jurisdiction
Unpaid Wages and Breach of Contract
Heard at Nottingham
The Tribunal dismissed the claims on jurisdictional grounds because the claim was presented out of time and the Claimant did not provide a reasonable explanation for the additional delay.
Legal Issues (3)
- The key legal issue was whether the Tribunal had jurisdiction to hear the claims given the late presentation. The Tribunal applied the 'reasonably practicable' test under section 23(2) of the Employment Rights Act 1996
- considering whether the Claimant had shown why it was not reasonably practicable to present the claim in time
- and whether the claim was presented within a reasonable further period. The Tribunal found that the Claimant failed to justify the additional eight-day delay after the extended time limit.
