Case Summary

The tribunal determined it lacked jurisdiction to consider the claimant's whistleblowing detriment complaint under section 48 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and the unfair dismissal complaint under section 111 of the Employment Rights Act 1996. The tribunal exercised its discretion under section 123 of the Equality Act 2010 to extend the time limit for presenting complaints under the Equality Act 2010 until 27 May 2025.

Why this outcome?

Jurisdictional bar

The tribunal lacked jurisdiction to hear the whistleblowing detriment and unfair dismissal claims under the respective statutory provisions, but exercised its discretion to extend the time limit for Equality Act 2010 complaints as it was just and equitable to do so.
