The EAT (HHJ McMullen QC) has held that the three month extension to time limits under the statutory grievance procedure means that the total time limit for (most) claims is six months less one day, not six months.
In so finding, it has declined to follow a previous decision of the EAT (Rainbow International v Taylor - see bulletin 27/6/06), a plainly incorrect decision which held that the time limit was six months (and not six months less one day).
