Case Summary

The claimants brought claims for breach of contract (failure to pay notice pay), statutory redundancy payment, and unauthorised deduction from wages (outstanding holiday pay) against Hunts Mastics Ltd and the Secretary of State for Business and Trade. All three claims were dismissed as they were presented out of time when it was reasonably practicable to have presented them in time.

Why this outcome?

Out of time

All three claims were dismissed because they were presented out of time when it was reasonably practicable to have presented them in time, meaning the tribunal lacked jurisdiction to hear them.
