Facts
Ms Kuczaj brought claims against Bristol Quality Care Limited including automatic constructive unfair dismissal, whistleblowing detriment, health and safety detriment, unlawful deductions from wages, breach of contract and arrears of holiday pay. The claimant appeared in person with an interpreter. The respondent was represented by a solicitor. A preliminary hearing was held to determine jurisdictional issues relating to time limits.
Decision
Employment Judge O'Rourke dismissed all of the claimant's claims for want of jurisdiction, finding that they were presented outside the statutory time limits. No extension of time was granted.
Practical note
Even meritorious claims will be struck out if presented outside statutory time limits and the tribunal cannot be persuaded to extend time on just and equitable or not reasonably practicable grounds.
