Case Summary

The claimant brought claims for unauthorised deductions from pay (February 2022 to March 2023) and unlawful indirect sex discrimination. Both claims were struck out as the tribunal found they were not presented within the applicable time limits and the claimant failed to demonstrate either that it was not reasonably practicable to present in time (for the deductions claim) or that it was just and equitable to extend time (for the discrimination claim).

The tribunal struck out both claims on time limit grounds. The unauthorised deductions claim failed because the claimant did not establish it was not reasonably practicable to present in time under section 23 ERA 1996. The sex discrimination claim failed because the tribunal found it was not just and equitable to extend time under section 123 Equality Act 2010.
