EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE
Preliminary issues
2002 Act and Pre-action Requirements
The employee lodged a claim for unfair dismissal outside the statutory three month time limit. The Chairman held that when the normal time limit expired, the employee had reasonable grounds to believe that a dismissal procedure was being followed and therefore the claim was in time pursuant to reg. 15 of the Employment Act 2002 (Dispute Resolution) Regulations 2004. The EAT held that in reaching that conclusion she had misdirected herself. Case remitted to a fresh tribunal.
