Facts
Mr Shehata brought two consolidated claims against London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust. The claims included unfair dismissal, public interest disclosure detriments, and age discrimination. A preliminary hearing was held to determine whether certain claims should proceed.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal claim and two public interest disclosure detriment claims for having no reasonable prospect of success due to being out of time. The age discrimination claims in both case files were allowed to continue and will be considered at a further preliminary hearing.
Practical note
Time limits are strictly enforced: even where multiple claims are brought, those presented out of time will be struck out if there is no reasonable prospect of successfully arguing an extension.
