An employee may present a complaint to an employment tribunal that his employer—
has unreasonably postponed a period of parental leave requested by the employee, or
has prevented or attempted to prevent the employee from taking parental leave.
An employment tribunal shall not consider a complaint under this section unless it is presented—
before the end of the period of three months beginning with the date (or last date) of the matters complained of, or
within such further period as the tribunal considers reasonable in a case where it is satisfied that it was not reasonably practicable for the complaint to be presented before the end of that period of three months.
Section 207B (extension of time limits to facilitate conciliation before institution of proceedings) apply] for the purposes of subsection (2)(a).
Where an employment tribunal finds a complaint under this section well-founded it—
shall make a declaration to that effect, and
may make an award of compensation to be paid by the employer to the employee.
The amount of compensation shall be such as the tribunal considers just and equitable in all the circumstances having regard to—
the employer's behaviour, and
any loss sustained by the employee which is attributable to the matters complained of.
