Struck out under rule 40(4) for non-payment of deposit ordered following preliminary hearing on 9 January 2025. The claimant was ordered to pay £20 deposit but failed to do so.
Detriment on grounds related to trade union membership or activities struck out under rule 40(4) for non-payment of deposit ordered following preliminary hearing on 9 January 2025.
Breach of contract claim (failure to provide a company car) struck out under rule 40(4) for non-payment of deposit ordered following preliminary hearing on 9 January 2025.
Detriment for asserting a statutory right claim continues as the claimant paid the £20 deposit with respect to this complaint only.
Facts
The claimant brought multiple claims including sex discrimination, trade union detriment, and breach of contract for failure to provide a company car. Following a preliminary hearing on 9 January 2025, the claimant was ordered to pay a £20 deposit for each of four specific complaints. The deposit order was sent to the claimant on 14 February 2025. The claimant paid only one deposit of £20, which she stated was for the detriment for asserting a statutory right claim.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claims of direct sex discrimination, detriment on grounds related to trade union membership or activities, and breach of contract (failure to provide a company car) under rule 40(4) of the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024 for non-payment of the required deposits. Only the detriment for asserting a statutory right claim continues.
Practical note
Failure to pay a deposit ordered by the tribunal will result in automatic strike out of the relevant claim under rule 40(4), without consideration of the merits.
