Victimisationstruck out

The complaint was not presented within the applicable time limit and the tribunal found it was not just and equitable to extend the time limit to the date on which the claims were presented.

Facts

The claimant brought claims of unfair dismissal, race discrimination, harassment, pregnancy discrimination and victimisation against her former employer, a healthcare company. The matter came before the tribunal as a preliminary hearing on the issue of jurisdiction and time limits.

Decision

The tribunal dismissed all claims on the basis that they were presented outside the applicable time limits. For the unfair dismissal claim, the tribunal found it was reasonably practicable to present the claim in time. For the discrimination claims, the tribunal found it was not just and equitable to extend time.

Practical note

Even where represented by counsel, claimants must strictly observe time limits, as tribunals may refuse to extend time if there is no good reason for the delay.
