EAT PART TIME WORKERS
JURISDICTIONAL POINTS – Extension of time: just and equitable
The Employment Judge did not apply correct principles of law when deciding whether it was just and equitable to consider the Claimant’s claim out of time. He placed impermissible reliance on his decision in Miller and Others v Ministry of Justice and did not consider whether, in the Claimant’s case, he was reasonably ignorant of his right to bring the claim, and how the prejudice to both parties should be balanced.
