Case Summary

The claimant claimed disability discrimination and failure to make reasonable adjustments arising from his fibromyalgia. His claim was presented on 16 January 2025, well outside the primary three-month time limit which expired 27 June 2024. The tribunal considered whether to extend the time limit on a just and equitable basis.

The tribunal struck out the claim because it would not be just and equitable to extend the time limit. The claimant failed to provide adequate explanation for the delay between dismissal (28 February 2024) and claim submission (16 January 2025), provided no objective medical evidence supporting his ill health claims, and his level of activity was inconsistent with the restrictions he claimed. Additionally, the respondent would be prejudiced by extending the time limit for complaints dating back over two years.
