Claimant v Eight Assets Management Ltd (in Administration)
Outcome
Individual claims
The claims against the Third Respondent (Verto HR Ltd) were struck out under Rule 38(1)(a) on the ground that they had no reasonable prospect of success. The tribunal determined that the claims could not be maintained against this respondent.
Facts
Mr Lodhi brought claims against three respondents: Eight Assets Management Ltd (in administration), Delta Force Group Ltd, and Verto HR Ltd. The nature of the underlying employment relationship and specific claims is not detailed in this judgment. The first respondent company was in administration at the time of the hearing.
Decision
The tribunal struck out all claims against the third respondent, Verto HR Ltd, under Rule 38(1)(a) on the basis that they had no reasonable prospect of success. The claimant appeared in person while Verto HR was represented by counsel.
Practical note
A claimant must establish a proper legal basis for naming each respondent, and claims against parties with no realistic prospect of success will be struck out at preliminary hearings.
