Claimant v The Protein Partners Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was presented outside the applicable time limit. The tribunal found that it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to have presented the claim within time. Therefore the tribunal had no jurisdiction to hear the claim and it was dismissed.
Facts
M Harrison brought a claim against The Protein Partners Limited. The claim was presented outside the applicable time limit. A preliminary hearing was held remotely via CVP to determine whether the claim should proceed despite being out of time.
Decision
The tribunal found that the claim was not presented within the applicable time limit and that it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to have done so. The claim was therefore dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
Practical note
Claims must be presented within strict time limits, and unrepresented claimants will not succeed on reasonable practicability arguments without evidence showing why timely presentation was not feasible.
