Chambers & Ors v QCR Motors Ltd (In Voluntary Liquidation) & Anor UKEAT/0545/09/MW
Appeals against decision by ET that claims of unfair dismissal had been brought out of time and therefore the court did not have jurisdiction to hear their complaints. The claimants claimed unfair dismissal after a TUPE transfer. The ET ruled, and the EAT agreed, that the clock for bringing a claim started on the date of transfer of the business, the claimants were aware of the date of transfer and were certainly aware of the date 3 weeks later. Therefore, it was reasonably practicable to have brought the claims within the 3 month limit. Appeals dismissed.

Fearon Vaughan Simpson v WM A Merrick (formerly T/A W A Merrick & Co Solicitors) UKEAT/0490/09/DA
Appeal by former employee to have counterclaims against her from her employer struck out. The claimant brought breach of contract claims for sums due under her employment contract. The respondent brought counterclaims relating to sums which the claimant took during her employment. The claimant's claims were struck out as they could only have been brought by the Official Receiver as at that time she had still been an undischarged bankrupt. The EAT refused the claimant's request that the 3 counterclaims which still survived be struck out since the requirements of the Employment Tribunals (Extension of Jurisdiction) England & Wales Order 1994, SI 1994/1623 had been met.
