Mr T Coyle v The Luton Masonic Hall Ltd: 3303707/2018
JUDGMENT
[1]The time limit under section 123 of the Equality Act 2010 (as extended under the early conciliation provisions) for the Claimant’s claim of discrimination on grounds of sexual orientation expired on 13 January 2018. The Claimant presented this claim to the Tribunal on 1 February 2018. It is not just and equitable to extend time for the presentation of the claim. Accordingly, the Tribunal has no jurisdiction to hear the claim and it is dismissed.[2]The primary time limit (as extended under the early conciliation provisions) for the Claimant’s claims of unfair dismissal, public interest disclosure detriment or dismissal (if made at all), unlawful deduction from wages, breach of contract as to notice and for holiday pay expired on 13 January 2018. It was reasonably practicable for the Claimant to present these claims to the Tribunal within this time limit but he failed to do so (claims presented on 1 February 2018). Accordingly, the Tribunal has no jurisdiction to hear them and they are dismissed.
