Employees working outside Great Britain



Employees working outside Great Britain can access the employment tribunal to bring claims (such as discrimination or unfair dismissal) provided their connection to Great Britain is “sufficiently strong” (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).


The strengths and weaknesses of the judicial system in a claimant's country of residence are not relevant when deciding whether the UK employment tribunal has jurisdiction to hear the claim (Creditsights Limited v Dhunna [2014] EWCA Civ 1238).
