How to get more time to comply with a Tribunal order
Circumstances may pop up during your case where it may be difficult to comply with a Tribunal order. If you’re not going to be able to meet a deadline, use an Application for Extension of Time to Comply with Order template as a way of extending the time limits for your Employment Tribunal orders.
Examples of when you can extend a time limit in Tribunal
There are a number of circumstances where you might need to apply for an extension. This could include where you need to extend for medical reasons or where settlement negotiations look likely to succeed.
Johanna has been unwell and hasn’t had enough time to gather documents to meet her deadline for disclosure.
She applies for an extension to ask for more time to work on this.
Michael is currently having discussions with the Respondent around settlement.
He wants to extend out the deadline for exchanging witness statements, since there will be no need to do this if the settlement is agreed.
He applies for an extension to move out the Case Management Order for exchange of witness statements.
