Case Summary

The unfair dismissal claim was dismissed as it was not presented within the time limit. The discrimination claims (disability, age and sex) were allowed to proceed despite being outside the time limit.

Why this outcome?

Out of time

The unfair dismissal claim was dismissed because it was presented outside the three-month time limit and it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to have presented it in time. However, the discrimination claims were permitted to proceed because the tribunal exercised its discretion to extend time on just and equitable grounds.
