Der der der der derde………………………

If any one is wondering what the post title refers, it’s the theme tune to when the countdown clock counts down at the end of the words and numbers show on Channel 4, formerly presented by Richard Whiteley. I admit that I did use to watch it, when I was at home holding the baby.
The relevance is to submission of unfair dismissal claims. If you leave submission of a claim to the last minute you run the risk of being timed out. In this case the employee after originally sending his claim form by email, sent it to the wrong email address (one letter out). He then sent a test message to the right address and then filed his claim. He had left it until the last 10 minutes of the last day of the period and by the time he sent the email to the right address he was 88 seconds too late. The Tribunal and the EAT dismissed his claim as he had the opportunity to submit on time but left it too late.
In other news Liam came 4th in the National Sailing championship, held last week in Scotland. Well done to Liam, his best ever result.
