Case Summary

Claimant brought claims for unfair dismissal and discrimination against Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust. The tribunal dismissed both claims on the grounds that they were not presented within the primary limitation period and the claimant failed to satisfy the tribunal that the claims were presented within the applicable further periods.

Why this outcome?

Out of time

The unfair dismissal claim was dismissed because it was not presented within the primary three-month limitation period and the claimant failed to establish either that it was not reasonably practicable to present it in time or that it was presented within a further reasonable period. The discrimination claim was dismissed on similar time-limit grounds, with the claimant failing to satisfy the tribunal that the claim was presented within a just and equitable further period.
