JUDGMENT

The Judgment of the Employment Tribunal is as follows:[1]The claimant’s complaints (first, under Section 111 of the Employment Rights Act 1996 that she was unfairly dismissed by the respondent and, secondly, apparently under section 23 of that Act that the respondent had made an unauthorised deductions from her wages) were not presented to the Employment Tribunal before the end of the period of three months as provided for in, respectively, sections 111(2) and 23(2) of that Act; and the Tribunal is satisfied that it would have been reasonably practicable for her complaints to have been presented before the end of that period.[2]In the circumstances, the Tribunal does not have jurisdiction to consider the claimant’s complaints, which are dismissed. EMPLOYMENT JUDGE MORRIS[1]This was a remote hearing, which had not been objected to by the parties.
