Denholm Logistics Group Ltd

Case Summary

The claimant's claims of unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal and holiday pay were dismissed due to being out of time, but the claims of age discrimination and sex discrimination were allowed to proceed to a full hearing.

The tribunal found it was reasonably practicable for the claimant to submit her unfair dismissal, wrongful dismissal, and holiday pay claims within the primary time limit, so these claims were time-barred and dismissed due to lack of jurisdiction. The discrimination claims were permitted to proceed because the tribunal exercised its discretion to extend time on just and equitable grounds under the Equality Act 2010.
