The Employment Tribunal had used its discretion to accept an complaint of unfair dismissal out of time. As the exercise of a discretion, and one exercised by an experienced tribunal appearing to apply the correct statutory tests, it would be a difficult to set it to one side. The complaint had been submitted after 2.5 months after the limit. There were no sufficient circumstances to justify such a delay, and it amounted to an error in law, and the matter was remitted for reconsideration.
