EAT JURISDICTIONAL POINTS
Claim in time and effective date of termination
In the late afternoon or evening of 3 November 2008 an employee received, as an email attachment, a letter giving 3 months notice of termination; later he learned that he would only be paid until 2 February 2009. The employer contended that the effective date of termination was 2 February 2009 and, therefore, that when the ET1 was lodged on 2 May 2009 it was one day out of time; notice commenced on 3 November 2008 and, in any event, the employment had ended on 2 February 2009. The Employment Tribunal accepted both arguments.
