Claimant v Sweet Indulgent Trio Limited

Outcome

Facts

This is a reconsideration judgment. The claimant Ms Le Li had brought claims against two respondent companies. A judgment dated 23 July 2025 was issued in the claimant's favour. The respondents applied for reconsideration on 31 August 2025, more than 14 days out of time. The respondents claimed they did not receive the claim form or notice properly, and were told by a clerk to wait. The notice of claim was sent to addresses referred to in contract documents and the registered office at Companies House.

Decision

Employment Judge Young refused the reconsideration application because it was submitted more than 14 days late, with no application to extend time and no valid explanation for the delay. The tribunal found it had no jurisdiction to reconsider the judgment. Even if time had been extended, the application had no reasonable prospects of success as the respondents had failed to explain why no response form was ever submitted.
