Blackford Farms Ltd v Mulqueeney: EAT 4 Apr 2007

EAT National Minimum Wage – Contract of Employment – Damages for breach of contract
Following a Pre Hearing Review, an Employment Tribunal held that the Claimant’s claim was not time-barred. It had been argued that it was a claim for a failure to pay the National Minimum Wage and was, accordingly out of time, an argument which had been countered by the submission that it was a breach of contract claim. The decision of the Tribunal was not disturbed on review. On appeal, the Employment Appeal Tribunal held that the claim was not a contractual one and it was, accordingly, time-barred.
