Claimant v Kilburn Park Medical Centre
Outcome
Individual claims
This was a preliminary hearing on time limits only. The tribunal determined that the employer's contract claim was presented in time and will proceed to a full hearing on the merits. The substantive claim has not yet been determined.
Facts
This was a preliminary hearing to determine whether an employer's contract claim brought by the respondent against the claimant was presented within the applicable time limit. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by a solicitor. The hearing was conducted remotely by CVP.
Decision
Employment Judge Harrison determined that the employer's contract claim was presented within the applicable time limit and therefore allowed it to proceed to a full hearing. The judgment was delivered orally with written reasons only to be provided if requested.
Practical note
Employer's contract claims (counter-claims) in employment tribunals are subject to time limits, and preliminary hearings may be held to determine jurisdictional issues before proceeding to the merits.
