Case Summary

The claimant brought complaints of unauthorised wage deductions and religious discrimination against his former employer. Both claims were presented out of time, after the statutory three-month time limits had expired before ACAS Early Conciliation commenced. The tribunal struck out both claims, finding no jurisdiction to determine them as the claimant provided no explanation for the delays and did not attend the hearing.

Both claims were presented out of time beyond the statutory three-month limits and the claimant failed to provide any explanation for the delays or evidence that it was not reasonably practicable to present them in time. The ACAS Early Conciliation 'stop the clock' provisions did not apply because conciliation was not started within the original time limits. The claimant did not attend the hearing and provided no submissions to support extending the time limits.
