Case Summary

The claimant brought claims for unfair dismissal, whistleblowing, and disability discrimination against Turkish Airlines. The tribunal struck out the unfair dismissal claim and whistleblowing and disability discrimination allegations occurring outside the period 1 July 2018 to 1 July 2023 (when the claimant was not working in the United Kingdom) on jurisdictional grounds, while permitting the remaining claims to proceed.

Why this outcome?

Jurisdictional bar

The tribunal lacked territorial jurisdiction over the unfair dismissal claim and over allegations of whistleblowing and disability discrimination that occurred when the claimant was not working in the United Kingdom (outside the period 1 July 2018 to 1 July 2023).
