EAT PRACTICE AND PROCEDURE – Preliminary issues
JURISDICTIONAL POINTS – Claim in time and effective date of termination
Employment Tribunal declared that it had jurisdiction to consider a claim for unfair dismissal, rejecting arguments that time grounds excluded it. On review, it upheld this decision. A decision was made under rule 28 ET Procedure Rules. A subsequent Employment Judge, due to hear the substantive claim on its merits, reconsidered the question of jurisdiction and concluded there was none. An appeal to the effect that the second EJ had no jurisdiction to determine the question of jurisdiction on time grounds (it having already been decided) was allowed.
