Claimant v London North West University Healthcare NHS Trust
Outcome
Facts
The respondent NHS Trust applied to strike out particular complaints in two linked claims brought by Miss May under rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Procedural Rules 2024. The hearing was held at Reading and involved a self-represented claimant facing a solicitor advocate for the respondent.
Decision
Employment Judge George dismissed the respondent's strike-out application, allowing the claimant's complaints to proceed. The tribunal refused to strike out the particular complaints that the respondent had sought to have removed from the proceedings.
Practical note
A self-represented claimant successfully resisted a strike-out application by an NHS Trust, demonstrating that procedural challenges by represented parties do not automatically succeed against unrepresented claimants.
