JUDGMENT

1. The respondent having been given permission to amend its response to contend that the claimants’ claims were brought out of time, the claims of both the first and second claimants are dismissed because they were brought outside the three-month time limits in sections 23(4) of the Employment Rights Act 1996 and regulation 30(2)(b) of the Working Time Regulations 1998.

2. The tribunal was not satisfied that it was not reasonably practicable to bring the claims within the three-month time limit and did not therefore extend time.
