Chief Constable of Lincolnshire Police v Caston

tribunal procedure | extension of time limits | disability discrimination

The Court of Appeal has criticised an employment tribunal’s suggestion that tribunals should adopt a “liberal” approach when considering whether or not to extend the time limit for lodging a claim.

Ms Caston made a claim for disability discrimination on 28 March 2008, which was outside the normal three-month time limit for bringing discrimination claims.
