Petition Action

Extend Employment Tribinal limitation period for disability dscrimination.

Petition Details

Disabled Job Applicants are often refused employments on the basis of their disability. The current recourse to justice allows for 3 months from date of notice to institute a claim in the employment Tribunal. This is unfair to a shocked disabled job applicant. The government should allow 15 years.

Additional Information

The government should increase the statute of limitation on Disability related employment disputes from 3 months to 15 years from the date of realisation by the disabled person, of the infringement of his/her rights. Employers usually gamble on the possibility that the disabled applicant cannot afford legal advice or representation.
