Claimant v JLP Cosmetics Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal found it did not have jurisdiction to hear the unfair dismissal claim and dismissed it at a preliminary hearing, likely due to time limit issues or the claimant not having sufficient qualifying service.
The tribunal found it did not have jurisdiction to hear the disability discrimination claim and dismissed it at a preliminary hearing, likely due to time limit issues or other jurisdictional defects.
Facts
Daniel Twigg brought claims of unfair dismissal and disability discrimination against his former employer JLP Cosmetics Limited. The matter came before Employment Judge Hutchinson at a preliminary hearing conducted remotely by CVP on 5 August 2025. The claimant appeared in person while the respondent was represented by Mr Hulks, a litigation consultant.
Decision
The tribunal determined it did not have jurisdiction to hear either the unfair dismissal claim or the disability discrimination claim. Both claims were dismissed at the preliminary hearing stage. The full merits hearing that had been listed for September 2026 was cancelled.
Practical note
This case demonstrates the importance of ensuring claims are brought within the statutory time limits and meet jurisdictional requirements, as both claims were dismissed before any substantive hearing on the merits.
