Mrs N Thompson v Ark School: 2208205/2016
JUDGMENT
[1](1) The Claimant’s claim alleging unfair dismissal was presented out of time and it was reasonably practicable to have presented it in time. That claim is dismissed.[2](2) The Claimant’s claims alleging unlawful sex discrimination and unlawful maternity discrimination were presented out of time and it is not just and equitable that time should be extended to permit them to be heard. Those claims are dismissed.[3]Employment Judge Professor A C Neal 24 February 2017[4]Note Reasons for the judgment having been given orally at the hearing, written reasons will not be provided unless a request was made by either party at the hearing or a written request is presented by either party within 14 days of the sending of this written record of the decision.[8]UPON APPLICATION made by e-mail and letter dated 20 June 2017 to reconsider the judgment dated 24 February 2017 under rule 71 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013, and without a hearing,[10]The Employment Judge considers that there is no reasonable prospect of the original decision being varied or revoked, because the matters put forward by the Claimant are essentially(1) challenges to findings of fact made by the Tribunal and/or(2) a challenge to the decision of the Tribunal by reference to section 111 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and/or(3) a challenge to the exercise by the Tribunal of powers to extend time as provided for by section 123 of the Equality Act 2010. Those are properly matters for appeal within the scope of section 21 of the Employment Tribunals Act 1996, and not matters for reconsideration as provided for by Rule 71 of the Employment Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2013. The Claimant’s application for reconsideration of the judgment dated 24 February 2017 is refused.
