EMPLOYMENT TRIBUNALS (SCOTLAND)5 Case No: 4100135/2021 Open Preliminary Hearing Held by Cloud Video Platform (CVP) on June 202110 Employment Judge - A Strain Mr Bryan McMurtrie
At an open preliminary hearing held by CVP on 8 June 2021, the tribunal considered jurisdiction and the identified claims brought by Mr Bryan McMurtrie against the Department for Work and Pensions.
The tribunal held that the unlawful deductions from wages claim had been presented out of time. It found that it had been reasonably practicable for the claim to have been presented in time, and dismissed that claim for want of jurisdiction under Rule 37(1)(a) of the Employment Tribunals (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013.
The tribunal also dismissed the claims in respect of sexual orientation discrimination, public interest disclosure and disability discrimination. The written judgment states that oral reasons were provided to the parties at the conclusion of the hearing, but does not set out further reasoning for those dismissals.
