Facts
Mr Asher Hollins brought claims of unfair dismissal and unlawful deduction from wages against his former employer, LIDL Great Britain Limited. The claimant was represented by his father at a preliminary hearing to determine whether the tribunal had jurisdiction to hear the claims.
Decision
Employment Judge Rayner dismissed both claims for want of jurisdiction, finding that both the unfair dismissal and unlawful deduction from wages claims were filed outside the relevant statutory time limits. The tribunal concluded it had no jurisdiction to hear either claim.
Practical note
Employment tribunal claims must be filed within strict statutory time limits, and failure to do so will result in dismissal for want of jurisdiction regardless of the merits of the underlying claims.
