Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found that the claimant did not present his unfair dismissal claim before the expiry of the statutory time limit when it was reasonably practicable for him to do so. As a result, the tribunal determined it did not have jurisdiction to consider the claim and dismissed it.
Facts
Mr Florin brought an unfair dismissal claim against Uber BV. The case proceeded to a preliminary hearing to determine whether the tribunal had jurisdiction to hear the claim given that it was presented outside the statutory time limit.
Decision
The tribunal found that the claimant did not present his unfair dismissal claim within the statutory time limit and that it was reasonably practicable for him to have done so. Accordingly, the tribunal dismissed the claim for lack of jurisdiction.
Practical note
Unrepresented claimants must strictly comply with statutory time limits for unfair dismissal claims, and failure to do so will result in dismissal where it was reasonably practicable to present the claim in time.
