Claimant v Govani Dental Limited

Claim was presented one month out of time. Tribunal found it was reasonably practicable to have presented the claim in time despite the claimant's anxiety and depression, as she was able to start new employment, complete her certificate qualification, participate in grievance processes, and had trade union support throughout. The claimant chose to prioritise her new job and qualification over filing the claim. Dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

Claims presented nearly two months out of time. Tribunal found it not just and equitable to extend time. Despite claimant's anxiety and depression, she was able to work, complete her qualification, and had union support. The claims were also ill-defined and unclear despite case management directions and three sets of further particulars, which would cause prejudice to the respondent. Dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

Claims presented nearly two months out of time (last alleged act was 10 July 2024, deadline 16 November 2024, filed 10 January 2025). Tribunal applied same reasoning as disability discrimination claims: not just and equitable to extend time given claimant's ability to function despite her condition, lack of clear explanation for delay, and prejudice to respondent from unclear pleadings. Dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
