EAT Time Limits – Effective date of termination
Time Limits – Reasonable practicability
The Tribunal found that the employee had demonstrated that it was not reasonably practicable for him to present his claim for unfair dismissal in the three month period because his appeal was still proceeding and there were ongoing negotiations about a consensual ‘resignation’; but these processes ended on 7 October and the period elapsed on 10 October. Held that the Tribunal erred in not considering separately the period from 7 October to 10 October in light of the changed circumstances. See The Royal Bank of Scotland Plc v Theobald (EAT/0444/06 10 January 2007). Remitted to same tribunal to consider that period.
