EAT Jurisdictional Points – Claim in time and effective date of termination
The Appellant employee brought a claim (inter alia) that he had been subjected to a disciplinary suspension because he was a ‘whistleblower’. The Tribunal decided that the claim was out-of-time. Decision upheld on the basis that, although the suspension was ‘an act extending over a period’ within the meaning of sec 48 (3) (a) of the Employment Rights Act1996, it had come to an end more than six months before the institution of proceedings.
