JUDGMENT

[1]The claimant’s claim of unfair dismissal is struck out, the claimant having failed to comply with the requirement for early conciliation in Section 18A(1) of the Employment Tribunals Act 1996, the proceedings not relating to any matter in respect of which the claimant had provided the requisite information to ACAS. The tribunal therefore has no jurisdiction to hear it.[2]In any event, without such defect, the claim was brought outside of the requisite time limit in circumstances where the tribunal was not satisfied that it had not been reasonably practicable for the claim to have been submitted in time.
