Claimant v Multistaff Recruitment Solutions LTD
Outcome
Other
Facts
The respondent recruitment company applied to strike out the claimant's claim on the basis that the complaints were presented outside the applicable time limit. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by counsel. The hearing was conducted remotely by CVP.
Decision
Employment Judge Hussain refused the respondent's application to strike out the claim. The tribunal determined that the question of whether the complaints were presented within the applicable time limit should be decided at the final hearing rather than at a preliminary stage.
Practical note
Tribunals may decline to strike out claims on time limit grounds at a preliminary hearing and instead defer the jurisdictional question to be determined at the final merits hearing.
