Outcome
Individual claims
The claim was struck out under Rule 38 because the claimant failed to comply with multiple Tribunal Orders, failed to attend multiple hearings, did not actively pursue the claim, and the claim had no reasonable prospect of success.
Facts
Ms Sumaiya Yasmin brought a claim against the Bank of England. The claimant failed to comply with multiple Tribunal Orders and failed to attend multiple hearings. The respondent was represented by Ms Horton, a solicitor. The claimant did not attend the strike-out hearing on 23 October 2025.
Decision
Employment Judge Codd struck out the claim under Rule 38 of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2024 on three grounds: non-compliance with Tribunal Orders, failure to actively pursue the claim, and no reasonable prospect of success.
Practical note
