Claimant v British Global Integrated Systems
Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was not presented within the applicable time limit under section 111 of the Employment Rights Act 1996, and the tribunal found it was reasonably practicable to have presented the claim in time, therefore the claim was struck out.
The Equality Act 2010 claims remain and will be listed for hearing on a date to be notified. No determination has yet been made on these claims.
Facts
Mr Shore brought claims against British Global Integrated Systems for unfair dismissal and claims under the Equality Act 2010. The unfair dismissal claim was presented outside the statutory time limit.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal claim because it was not presented within the applicable time limit and it was reasonably practicable to have done so. The Equality Act 2010 claims remain and will proceed to a full hearing.
Practical note
Claimants must strictly comply with the three-month time limit for unfair dismissal claims unless it was not reasonably practicable to do so, as discrimination claims have a different time limit test.
