I think I'm inclined to go with the first comment.

Of course, who could ever forget the very unfortunate case of Beasley v National Grid Electricity Transmissions and how was it fair in a case a few years ago that a Government Department Respondent was allowed to file their Response nearly 60 days late?

It is debatable as to whether 3 months (actually less 2 days for ACAS Early Conciliation) is fair particularly given the normal 6-year deadline for County Court claims, but barring very exceptional circumstances, Proposed Claimants do have to continue to observe the existing limitation periods.

Further, regarding the 'supposed' concerns about a further flood of claims now that the ET fees have been abolished, does anyone seriously think that most of those cases will be successful?
