Claimant v Narbuild Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was presented outside the applicable time limit. The tribunal found it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to have presented the claim in time. The claim was therefore dismissed.
Facts
Mr Cedrowski brought a claim against Narbuild Limited. He did not attend the preliminary hearing and was unrepresented. The respondent was represented by Mr K Dekar, a company director. The hearing proceeded in the claimant's absence under rule 47 to consider whether the claim was in time.
Decision
The tribunal found that the claim was not presented within the applicable time limit and that it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to have presented it in time. The claim was therefore dismissed for being out of time.
Practical note
Claimants who fail to attend preliminary hearings on time limit issues risk having their claims dismissed even where they have not had the opportunity to present their case.
