The tribunal found this protected disclosure detriment (whistleblowing) claim was not presented within the applicable time limit and that it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to have presented it in time. The claim was therefore dismissed.
Facts
Mr Mahmood brought claims of unfair dismissal, automatically unfair dismissal relating to whistleblowing, protected disclosure detriment, and discrimination on grounds of religion or belief against his former employer, a health and home care company. The claimant appeared in person with an Urdu interpreter. At a preliminary hearing, the claimant withdrew his religion discrimination claim.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the religion discrimination claim upon withdrawal. The tribunal found that the unfair dismissal and whistleblowing-related claims were presented outside the applicable time limits and that it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to have presented them in time. All claims were therefore dismissed.
Practical note
A self-represented claimant's whistleblowing and unfair dismissal claims were dismissed at a preliminary hearing because they were out of time and the tribunal found no basis to extend time as it was reasonably practicable to have filed in time.
