Ms K Mayze v Mid and West Wales Fire & Rescue Service — 2020

The hearing was a preliminary hearing before Employment Judge R Harfield sitting alone in Cardiff on 12 August 2020. The written judgment records that the claimant's victimisation claim under the Equality Act 2010, as set out in the claim form presented on 10 September 2019, was presented outside the primary time limit. The tribunal was not satisfied that it was presented within any further period that would be just and equitable, and held that it had no jurisdiction to hear that complaint.

The tribunal refused the claimant's application to amend the claim to add further acts of victimisation. It also refused the respondent's application for strike out or a deposit order in relation to the unauthorised deduction from wages claim, and recorded that that claim, together with the complaint about the start date for continuity of service in the statement of particulars of employment, would proceed to a full hearing under a separate case management order. No monetary remedy was awarded in the judgment.
