Cast v Croydon College [1997] IRLR 14 EAT (1 other report)
A woman who asked her employer if she could change from full-time to part-time work when she returned from maternity leave was time-barred from complaining that the refusal of this request was discriminatory on the ground of her sex, because the three-month period for presenting her complaint started to run from the first refusal before she went on maternity leave, holds the EAT in Cast v Croydon College [1997] IRLR 14. The fact that, after returning from maternity leave a year later, the employee made further similar requests which were also turned down did not mean that the act of alleged discrimination was a "continuing act" for time-limit purposes.
