Case Summary

The claimant brought a complaint of unfair dismissal outside the primary three-month time limit. The Tribunal found that it was not reasonably practicable for the complaint to be made within the primary period, but that it was presented within such further period as the Tribunal considers reasonable. The Tribunal therefore accepted jurisdiction and allowed the unfair dismissal complaint to proceed.

The Tribunal found that although the unfair dismissal complaint was presented outside the primary three-month time limit, it was not reasonably practicable for the complaint to be made within that period. Since the complaint was presented within a further period that the Tribunal considers reasonable, the Tribunal accepted jurisdiction and allowed the complaint to proceed.
