THE INDUSTRIAL TRIBUNALS
CASE REF: 1375/14
CLAIMANT: Chloe Nesbitt
RESPONDENT: Buddies Childtime Centre Ltd
DECISION ON A PRE-HEARING REVIEW
The proceedings are dismissed because they were not presented within the relevant primary or secondary time-limit.
Constitution of Tribunal:
Employment Judge (sitting alone): Employment Judge Buggy
Appearances:
The claimant was represented by Mr B O’Sullivan, Barrister-at-Law, instructed by Barry Fox Solicitors.
The respondent was represented by Mr Mark Mason of Collective Business Services.
REASONS
1. I announced my decision at the end of the hearing. At the same time, I announced my reasons for that decision.
2. In summary, I was satisfied that the claimant did not present the proceedings within the relevant primary time-limit, and that it was reasonably practicable for her to present the proceedings within that primary time-limit. Accordingly, unfortunately, the claimant cannot bring herself within the secondary time-limit. (Both time-limits are, of course, set out in Article 145 of the Employment Rights Order 1996).
