Employees outside Great Britain

Employees working outside Great Britain can bring tribunal claims if their claim has a sufficiently close connection to Great Britain (Serco Ltd v Lawson; Botham v MoD, Crofts & others v Veta Ltd & others [2006] UKHL 3, Clyde & Co LLP v Bates [2012] EWCA Civ 1207).

Where a claim is for collective consultation rights, the test focuses on the closeness of the connection between Great Britain and the establishment where the workers are based (Seahorse Maritime v Nautilus International [2018] EWCA Civ 2789) — see Chapter 11.
