Claimant v Tandoori Catering Consultants Ltd t/a Burger King
Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was submitted outside the statutory time limit and the tribunal determined it had no jurisdiction to consider it, resulting in dismissal of the claim.
Facts
Mr Djondo brought a claim against his former employer Tandoori Catering Consultants Ltd, which operates as a Burger King franchise. The claim was submitted outside the statutory time limit for bringing employment tribunal claims. Both parties were represented by solicitors at a preliminary hearing held by video to determine whether the tribunal had jurisdiction to hear the claim.
Decision
Employment Judge Corrigan determined that the claim was submitted out of time and that the tribunal had no jurisdiction to consider it. The claim was therefore dismissed. Burger King (UK) Ltd was also removed as a party to the proceedings.
Practical note
Employment tribunal claims must be submitted within strict statutory time limits, and failure to do so will result in the tribunal having no jurisdiction to hear the claim, regardless of its merits.
