‘The Employment Appeal Tribunal (‘EAT’) has long enforced the time limit for appealing from the Employment Tribunal (‘ET’) strictly. The EAT’s general power to extend the time for appealing is contained in Rule 37(1) of the Employment Appeal Tribunal Rules 1993 (‘Rules’). It is only exercised in rare and exceptional cases, although, following Ridley & Others v HB Kirtley t/a Queen’s Court Business Centre & Others [2024] EWCA Civ 884, the discretion may now be more liberally exercised than previously.’
