Mr D Clements v Standard Chartered Bank: 2203695/2019
JUDGMENT
(1) The tribunal does not have jurisdiction to hear the claimant’s breach of contract claim (Employment Tribunals Extension of Jurisdiction (England and Wales) Order 1994) because the claimant signed a redundancy agreement, in which he accepted its terms in full and final settlement of any and all claims against the respondent; in so doing he waived his right to bring this breach of contract claim;(2) Further, the tribunal does not have jurisdiction to consider his claim because it was submitted outside of the three-month time limit. It would have been reasonably practicable for the claimant to submit the claim in time (by starting Acas early conciliation by 11 April 2019 and then submitting the claim within a month thereafter).(3) The claim is therefore dismissed.
