Claimant v Amazon Data Services UK Limited
Outcome
Facts
The claimant, Mr Narkwa, made multiple applications in September and October 2025 seeking to strike out the respondent Amazon Data Services UK Limited's response to his employment tribunal claim. The claimant also raised a procedural concern application. The matter was heard by CVP (remote video) as a preliminary hearing to determine these applications.
Decision
Employment Judge Green dismissed all of the claimant's applications, including the strike-out applications dated 26 September, 29 September, and 1 October 2025, and the procedural concern application dated 9 October 2025. The respondent's response remains in place and the claim will proceed.
Practical note
A claimant's multiple applications to strike out a respondent's response were unsuccessful, demonstrating the high threshold required for such applications and the tribunal's reluctance to deny a party the opportunity to defend a claim at a preliminary stage.
