Deangate Ltd v Hatley and others UKEAT/0389/14

Applications for fee remission after submission of claims were in time

Mr Hatley and others completed forms of application for fee remission some days after submitting their claims on line.  Rule 11(1) of the Employment Tribunal (Constitution and Rules of Procedure) Regulations 2013, Schedule 1 provides: “The Tribunal shall reject a claim if it is not accompanied by a Tribunal fee or a remission application.” In practice form EX160 (which is not prescribed by legislation) is used for applications for fee remission
