Claimant v The Maggie Keswick Jencks Cancer Caring Centres Trust
Outcome
Individual claims
The claims against the second respondent (Amanda Proctor) were not submitted in time. The Tribunal therefore has no jurisdiction to hear those claims and they were struck out.
Facts
Miss Iqbal brought claims against The Maggie Keswick Jencks Cancer Caring Centres Trust and Amanda Proctor as individual respondent. The tribunal heard oral evidence from the claimant and legal submissions regarding whether the claims against the second respondent were submitted in time.
Decision
The tribunal found that the claims against the second respondent (Amanda Proctor) were not submitted in time and therefore struck them out for lack of jurisdiction. The existing claims continue against the first respondent only.
