Claimant v Narbuild Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was presented outside the applicable statutory time limit. The tribunal found that it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to have presented the claim in time, and therefore the tribunal had no jurisdiction to hear it. The claim was dismissed.
Facts
The claimant brought an employment tribunal claim against his former employer, Narbuild Limited. The claimant did not attend the preliminary hearing held by video on 11 December 2025, and was unrepresented. The respondent was represented by its director, Mr K Dekar. The tribunal proceeded in the claimant's absence under rule 47.
Decision
The tribunal found that the claim had not been presented within the applicable statutory time limit, and that it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to have done so. As the claimant had not shown that it was not reasonably practicable to present the claim in time, the tribunal dismissed the claim for lack of jurisdiction.
Practical note
Claims must be presented within strict statutory time limits, and claimants must show it was not reasonably practicable to meet those limits if seeking an extension.
