Case Summary
The claimant brought claims of whistleblowing detriment, unfair dismissal, disability discrimination and failure to make reasonable adjustments against First Complete Limited. All claims were presented outside the normal time limits. The tribunal found it was reasonably practicable for the whistleblowing and unfair dismissal claims to have been presented in time and therefore lacked jurisdiction. The tribunal also found it was not just and equitable to extend time for the disability discrimination claims and consequently dismissed all claims.
Why this outcome?
Out of timeThe tribunal lacked jurisdiction to hear the whistleblowing and unfair dismissal claims because the claimant admitted they were presented outside the normal time limits and it was reasonably practicable for them to have been presented in time. The tribunal also lacked jurisdiction to hear the disability discrimination and reasonable adjustment claims because it was not just and equitable to extend the time limit.
