18.—(1) A crew member may present a complaint to an employment tribunal that his employer has refused to permit him to exercise any right he has under regulation 4, 5(1), (4), 7(1) or 7(2)(b).
(2) An employment tribunal shall not consider a complaint under this regulation unless it is presented—
(a)before the end of the period of three months beginning with the date on which it is alleged—
(i)that the exercise of the right should have been permitted (or in the case of a rest period or annual leave extending over more than one day, the date on which it should have been permitted to begin), or
(ii)the payment under regulation 4(2)(b) should have been made;
as the case may be; or
(b)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.
(3) Where an employment tribunal finds a complaint under regulation 4, 5(1), (4), 7(1) or 7(2)(b) well-founded, the tribunal—
(a)shall make a declaration to that effect; and
(b)may make an award of compensation to be paid by the employer to the crew member.
(4) The amount of the compensation shall be such as the tribunal considers just and equitable in all the circumstances having regard to—
(a)the employer’s default in refusing to permit the crew member to exercise his right; and
(b)any loss sustained by the crew member which is attributable to the matters complained of.
