Claimant v Nicoll Road Nursery Limited
Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was struck out for the claimant's non-compliance with tribunal orders and because it was no longer possible to have a fair hearing within the trial window.
Facts
Miss Verissimo brought an employment claim against Nicoll Road Nursery Limited. The claimant failed to comply with tribunal orders and did not appear to be represented. The respondent was represented by a litigation consultant. The matter came before Employment Judge Sudra on 18 November 2025 via video conference.
Decision
The tribunal struck out the claim on two grounds: the claimant's non-compliance with tribunal orders and the impossibility of conducting a fair hearing within the allocated trial window. The claim was dismissed under the Employment Tribunal Procedure Rules 2024.
Practical note
Unrepresented claimants must comply with tribunal orders and procedural requirements or risk having their claims struck out, even before a full merits hearing.
