Balfour Beatty Engineering Services v Allen: EAT 24 Oct 2011

EAT JURISDICTIONAL POINTS – Extension of time: reasonably practicable
The Employment Judge had failed to make any findings of fact relevant to considering whether, after expiry of the time limited for presenting a claim, a further period of delay had been reasonable. Also she had misdirected herself as to the relevance of the fault of a skilled legal adviser and failed to consider whether that affected the reasonableness of not presenting a complaint during the further period.
Case remitted to a differently constituted Tribunal for a complete re-hearing.
