Claimant v Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust
Outcome
Facts
The claimant, Mr Stefan Adams, submitted two separate employment tribunal claims against The Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust with different case numbers (3306284/2024 and 3310707/2024). The matter came before Employment Judge Palmer sitting alone via remote video hearing at Bury St Edmunds on 9 October 2025. The claimant appeared in person assisted by Mr W Rugarabanu, while the respondent was represented by Ms J Whiteley, a solicitor.
Decision
The tribunal ordered that Case Number 3310707/2024 be dismissed as an unnecessary duplicate of Case Number 3306284/2024. The claim will proceed under Case Number 3306284/2024 only. This was a case management decision to consolidate duplicate claims into a single proceeding.
Practical note
When a claimant submits duplicate claims, the tribunal will dismiss the later claim as unnecessary and consolidate proceedings under a single case number to avoid duplication and ensure efficient case management.
