Nationwide Building Society

Case Summary

The claimant sought reconsideration of a judgment dismissing her unauthorised deduction from wages complaint, which had been withdrawn orally at a preliminary hearing on 9-10 June 2025. Employment Judge Wilson refused the reconsideration application as it was made well outside the 14-day time limit and there was no reasonable prospect of the original decision being varied or revoked.

The application was made more than seven months out of time (11 November 2025 versus the 14-day deadline of 1 July 2025), the claimant had previously failed to raise the matter at an earlier hearing on 29-30 September 2025, and the Employment Judge remained persuaded that Rule 51 did not apply to the original withdrawal and that it was not in the interests of justice to set aside the dismissal judgment.
