Young v National Power plc: CA 23 Nov 2000

The six months time limit for presenting a claim under the Act, ran from the cessation of employment, and not necessarily the date at which she ceased to be involved in the work in question. The words of the statute clearly referred to six months from the date of termination of employment. The words ‘work’ and ’employment’ were used together in the same section in a way which implied a distinction in meaning.
