JUDGMENT

[1]This paragraph relates to the complaints of disability discrimination set out in table form in the Case Management Order sent to the parties on 25 August 2021. Allegation numbers refer to rows in that table. In respect of those complaints: 1.1. It is undisputed that Allegations 17 to 23 were raised in the claim forms and do not require an amendment to the claim. 1.2. Allegation 24 does not require an amendment to the claim. The claim form in claim 2401010/2010, read as a whole, could be reasonably understood as including that complaint. 1.3. The remaining complaints require an amendment to the claim. Permission to amend is refused.[2]The tribunal has no jurisdiction to consider the complaints of unlawful deduction from wages, breach of the Working Time Regulations 1998 and the claim for damages for breach of contract, because: 2.1. These complaints were presented after the expiry of the statutory time limit; 2.2. It was reasonably practicable for these complaints to have been presented before the time limit expired; and 2.3. In any event, they were not presented within such further period as the tribunal considered reasonable. 1 of 2 Case Number: 2418294/2020 2401010/2021[3]The tribunal has no jurisdiction to consider Allegations 17 to 24 of disability discrimination. These complaints were presented after the expiry of the statutory time limit. The claimant did not present the claims within such other period as the tribunal considered just and equitable.[4]The claims are therefore dismissed.
