EAT Jurisdictional Points : Claim In Time and Effective Date of Termination : Unlawful deduction from wages
The Claimant appealed against the Employment Tribunal’s determination at a Pre-Hearing Review that there was no jurisdiction to determine his claims for unlawful deductions from wages, on the basis both that (1) they were out of time and (2) they were, when properly analysed, claims for damages for breach of contract and outwith the statutory regime for unlawful deductions claims.
Additional questions related to the date when the Claimant’s employment had been terminated, and whether the Administrators (the Respondents having gone into administration) had adopted his contract of employment.
No error of law was identified in the ET’s decision and the appeal was therefore dismissed.
