Facts
Two claimants, Mr S Oakes and Mrs K Oakes, brought claims against DX Products Ltd. The claimants applied to strike out the respondent's response on grounds that the respondent behaved unreasonably by delaying provision of an amended response. The respondent had subsequently provided the response.
Decision
Employment Judge Miller refused the claimants' strike-out application. The judge found that the respondent had now provided a response and that the final hearing was not prejudiced in any way by the delay.
Practical note
Minor procedural delays in providing amended responses will not result in strike-out if the response is ultimately provided and the substantive hearing is not prejudiced.
