Jurisdictional Points - Extension of time: reasonably practicable

It was not reasonably practicable for the Claimant to present his unfair dismissal claim in 3 months. But by waiting a further 11 days he went beyond a reasonable period: Employment Rights Act 1996 s111(2). The authorities on “reasonably practicable” for primary limitation, and fault of advisers, were applicable to deciding what was a further reasonable period: Northumberland County Council v Thomson UKEAT/0209/07. The Employment Judge decision was upheld.
