Case Summary

This preliminary hearing considered whether certain claims by the claimant the claimant against the respondent Ikea Distribution Services Limited were presented in time. The judge found that the unfair dismissal claim was out of time, but that the disability discrimination, indirect discrimination, failure to make reasonable adjustments, and harassment related to religion claims should proceed to a further hearing, though they may ultimately be found to be out of time.

Why this outcome?

Out of time

The unfair dismissal claim was presented outside the statutory time limit and there was no reasonable practicability for earlier presentation. The disability discrimination claim was struck out as having no reasonable prospect of a just and equitable time extension, though other discrimination and reasonable adjustments claims were permitted to proceed to a further hearing despite potential time issues.
