Claimant v Tradeway Import & Export Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The tribunal dismissed the claim for lack of jurisdiction because it was not presented within the applicable statutory time limit under section 164(1) and (2) of the Employment Rights Act 1996.
Facts
The claimant brought a claim for redundancy payment against her former employer. The respondent did not attend the hearing and was not represented. The tribunal heard the matter via CVP at Manchester.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the claim for lack of jurisdiction. The claimant had failed to present her claim within the statutory time limit required by section 164(1) and (2) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 for redundancy payment claims.
Practical note
Redundancy payment claims must strictly comply with the time limits in section 164 ERA 1996, and claims presented out of time will be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction even where the respondent does not participate.
