Case Summary
The claimant brought multiple claims against Norfolk County Council including notice pay, holiday pay, unlawful deduction from wages, sex discrimination, unfair dismissal, and redundancy payment. The tribunal dismissed or struck out all claims, finding that notice pay, holiday pay, and unlawful deduction claims were outside the time limit and it was reasonably practicable to have presented them on time; the sex discrimination claim was outside the time limit and it was not just and equitable to extend it; and the unfair dismissal and redundancy claims were struck out because the claimant had less than two years service and therefore lacked the qualifying period required by statute.
Why this outcome?
