Question to the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy:
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, with reference to the report by the Law Commission, Employment law hearing structures, published in April 2020, whether he has plans to implement the recommendation in that report that the employment tribunal time limit for claims be extended to six months for all types of claim.
A claim to an Employment Tribunal must usually be made within three months. For certain claims, redundancy pay or equal pay, the claim must be made within six months. The Employment Tribunals already have the discretion to allow claims submitted out of time, on a case by basis.
