JUDGMENT

[1]The claim pursuant to section 80 G of the Employment Rights Act 1996 succeeds as the Respondent’s decision was not communicated to the Claimant within the “decision period” and the “decision period” was not extended in accordance with section 80 G (1C).[2]The Tribunal therefore makes a declaration pursuant to section 80I that the claim is well-founded. However, the Tribunal does not consider that it would be appropriate to exercise its discretion under section 80 I (1) (a) to make an order for reconsideration of the application or under section 80 I (1) (b) to make an award of compensation.
