Case Summary

This is a preliminary hearing to determine time limit issues in a claim brought by a teacher against a multi-academy trust. The claimant's ET1 was presented on 11th May 2025, seven days out of time. The claimant argues that legal uncertainty regarding section 207B(3) Employment Rights Act 1996 made it not reasonably practicable to present the claim in time.
