24 October 2025Before Employment Judge LumbyLondon Southremote video

Outcome

Other

Facts

This was a preliminary hearing to determine the respondent's application to strike out parts of the claimant's claim on the grounds that they were presented outside the applicable time limits. The hearing was conducted remotely by CVP with both parties represented by counsel.

Decision

The tribunal refused the respondent's strike-out application. The question of whether the claim was presented within the applicable time limit will be determined at the final hearing rather than at this preliminary stage.

Practical note

Tribunals may decline to strike out claims for being out of time at a preliminary hearing and instead defer the time limit issue to be determined at the final merits hearing.
