Claimant v Ipsos MORI UK Ltd
Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was not presented within the applicable time limit and the tribunal determined it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to have done so, resulting in dismissal of the claim.
The claim for failure to provide written statement of reasons for dismissal was not presented within the applicable time limit and it was reasonably practicable to do so, resulting in dismissal.
Facts
The claimant brought claims of unfair dismissal and failure to provide written statement of reasons for dismissal against Ipsos MORI UK Ltd. The matter proceeded to a preliminary hearing to determine whether the claims were presented within the applicable time limits.
Decision
The tribunal found that both claims were not presented within the applicable time limit. Critically, the tribunal determined it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to have presented the claims in time. Both claims were therefore dismissed.
Practical note
Time limits in employment claims are strictly enforced; a claimant must demonstrate it was not reasonably practicable to present their claim in time to obtain an extension.
