Tribunal's reasoningThis was a record of an open preliminary hearing before Employment Judge Alliott sitting alone by CVP on 18 May 2021. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by Ms Kelly Faulkner, solicitor. The tribunal decided preliminary time-limit issues only and did not determine the merits of the substantive claims.
The tribunal held that the unfair dismissal claim was not presented in time and that it was reasonably practicable to present it in time. On that basis, the unfair dismissal claim was struck out.
The tribunal also held that the race and/or sex discrimination claims were not presented in time and that it was not just and equitable to extend time. Those discrimination claims were therefore struck out. No remedy was awarded.
