Facts
Mr Kazis brought multiple employment claims against Michels Ventures 4 Limited under two case numbers. The claims included discrimination on grounds of marriage/civil partnership, religion, unauthorised deduction of wages, unfair dismissal, and health and safety related dismissal/detriment. The claimant appeared in person while the respondent was represented by a solicitor at a preliminary hearing.
Decision
Employment Judge Arullendran struck out all of the claimant's claims under Rule 38(1)(a) on the basis that they had no reasonable prospect of success. The stay on the first claim was lifted, and the scheduled final hearing for July 2026 was cancelled.
Practical note
Unrepresented claimants face significant risk of strike-out at preliminary hearings where they cannot establish even a reasonable prospect of success for their claims.
