Case Summary

Mrs. Luther-Thomas' claim of unfair dismissal is out of time and the Employment Tribunal has no jurisdiction to hear the claim.

Why this outcome?

Out of time

The claimant's unfair dismissal claim was filed outside the statutory three-month time limit, and the tribunal found it was reasonably practicable for her to have submitted it within that period, with no evidence supporting an extension.
