Claimant v Ms C White and Ms AO Taylor trading together in partnership as Hembury Fort House

The tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal claim on the basis it had no reasonable prospect of success. The claim was brought out of time, more than 3 months after termination. The claimant appeared to accept there was a termination in August 2024. He had previously brought proceedings in December 2024 which were rejected. The tribunal found he could not overcome the jurisdictional time bar issues under s.111 of the Employment Rights Act.

The notice pay claim was struck out for having no reasonable prospect of success. The claim was presented more than 3 months after termination, breaching time limits under article 7 of the Extension of Jurisdiction Order. The claimant could not demonstrate why it was not reasonably practicable to have brought the claim earlier, especially as he had brought previous proceedings in December 2024.

The wages claim was struck out as having no reasonable prospect of success. The claim was out of time under s.23 of the Employment Rights Act, being presented more than 3 months after termination. Much of the claim related to alleged recompense for building work on the property which the tribunal found was not a matter the Employment Tribunal had jurisdiction to determine.
