The tribunal determined only that the complaint under Regulation 9 Employment Relations Act 1999 (Blacklists) Regulations 2010 was presented in time and will proceed. This blacklisting claim has not yet been determined on its merits.
Facts
Dr Z Dinnen brought complaints against Queen Mary University London under sections 146 and 169 of the Trade Union and Labour Relations (Consolidation) Act 1992 and Regulation 9 of the Employment Relations Act 1999 (Blacklists) Regulations 2010. The respondent challenged whether the claims were presented in time.
Decision
The tribunal held a preliminary hearing to determine time limit issues. Employment Judge Howden-Evans ruled that all complaints were presented within the applicable time limits and will therefore proceed to a full merits hearing.
Practical note
This preliminary hearing resolved only jurisdictional time limit issues for trade union detriment and blacklisting claims, allowing the substantive claims to proceed.
