Individual claims

Direct Discrimination(sex)struck out

The claim was struck out because the claimant failed to pay the deposit ordered by the tribunal in its Deposit Order dated 28 August 2025. This was an associative sex discrimination claim concerning dismissal.

Facts

The claimant brought a claim of associative sex discrimination relating to dismissal against Iceland Foods Limited. A tribunal previously made a Deposit Order on 28 August 2025, requiring the claimant to pay a deposit to continue with the claim. The claimant failed to pay the deposit.

Decision

Employment Judge Maidment struck out the claim of associative sex discrimination because the claimant had not complied with the earlier Deposit Order by failing to pay the required deposit by the deadline.

Practical note

Failure to comply with a deposit order will result in automatic strike out of the claim under tribunal rules.
