We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Extend Employment Tribinal limitation period for disability dscrimination.
Disabled Job Applicants are often refused employments on the basis of their disability. The current recourse to justice allows for 3 months from date of notice to institute a claim in the employment Tribunal. This is unfair to a shocked disabled job applicant. The government should allow 15 years.
More details
The government should increase the statute of limitation on Disability related employment disputes from 3 months to 15 years from the date of realisation by the disabled person, of the infringement of his/her rights. Employers usually gamble on the possibility that the disabled applicant cannot afford legal advice or representation.
