Miss K Blakeway v Terraquest Solutions Ltd: 1303617/2019
JUDGMENT
The claimant failed to attend the hearing, my clerk contacted her to ascertain why that was so, following an application by the respondent and having been was satisfied the notice of hearing was properly served I determined to proceed to hear the claim in the claimant’s absence. I determined that[1]The Tribunal does not have jurisdiction to hear the claim because it was presented out of time, it was reasonably practicable for it to have been done in time and in any event it was not presented within a further reasonable period.[2]Having heard representation as to the substantive claim at the same time as those about timing, had the tribunal had jurisdiction to hear the claim I would have determined that the respondent did not make an unlawful deduction from the claimant’s wages, that claim was not well founded and is thus in any event dismissed.
