Facts
Mr Alexandropoulos brought two separate claims against Advice UK. Case 6020140/2024 was a breach of contract claim, and case 6000908/2025 comprised claims of age and race discrimination. This preliminary hearing dealt with the jurisdiction issue regarding the breach of contract claim.
Decision
The tribunal found it did not have jurisdiction to hear the breach of contract claim because it was presented outside the statutory time limit. The age and race discrimination claims in the separate case will proceed to a full merits hearing in October 2025.
Practical note
Breach of contract claims in the employment tribunal are subject to strict time limits under the Extension of Jurisdiction Order 1994, and tribunals have no jurisdiction to hear claims presented out of time under that legislation.
