Extensions of time in tribunal claims

How often the Employment Tribunal extended time for a late claim, by the year the claim was presented, and the decisions behind it

What this is. A record of decisions on late claims in judgments on the Employment Tribunal decisions register, extracted automatically. It covers decisions to extend or refuse time under the reasonably practicable test and the just and equitable test. Read the judgment before relying on anything here.

Unverified. The year-by-year rates, the delay bands and the filters are not checked. About these figures says what was and was not checked. Report a correction. Part of the ET Workbench blog. Last updated .

Success rate by claim year

Share of decisions that extended time, for each test, by the year the claim was presented. Unverified

Hover over or tap a point to see its counts.

Success rate = allowed / (allowed + refused). Decisions never re-read are first-reading refusals, so recent-year rates may be slightly low (see About). A hollow point on a dashed line is a year with fewer than decisions for that test (small numbers). Years where neither test reaches that number are left off the chart and shown in the table only.
