Facts
Mr Parkes brought a claim against Aldi Stores Limited which was presented outside the applicable time limit. A preliminary hearing was held to consider whether time should be extended.
Decision
The tribunal found it just and equitable to extend the time limit for the claim. The claim was therefore allowed to proceed to a full hearing on the merits.
Practical note
Even where claims are presented out of time, tribunals have discretion to extend time limits on just and equitable grounds in discrimination cases.
