Glasgow City Council

Case Summary

A preliminary hearing to determine jurisdiction over claims arising from the claimant's dismissal on 17 March 2025. The claimant presented two claim forms (17 and 21 July 2025) outside the statutory time limits, arguing victimisation by the respondent. The tribunal dismissed claims under the Employment Rights Act 1996 as outside jurisdiction, but accepted jurisdiction over Equality Act 2010 claims as it was just and equitable to extend time.

The claims under the Employment Rights Act 1996 were dismissed as outside jurisdiction because the claimant failed to demonstrate that it was reasonably practicable to present the claims within the statutory time limit. However, jurisdiction was accepted for Equality Act 2010 claims because the tribunal found it was just and equitable to extend time having regard to the claimant's personal circumstances, inability to secure legal advice, the multi-factorial nature of the test, and that a fair trial remained possible despite delay.
