Claimant v Isle of Wight NHS Trust
Outcome
Individual claims
All claims for all claimants struck out under Rule 38(1)(b) and/or (c) and/or (d) and/or (e) of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2024. The specific grounds indicate the claims were struck out for procedural reasons which may include failure to comply with tribunal orders, failure to pursue, scandalous/vexatious conduct, or no reasonable prospect of success.
Facts
Three doctors brought claims against the Isle of Wight NHS Trust. The first two claimants were represented by counsel at a preliminary hearing. The third claimant did not attend but sent written representations. The case proceeded as a preliminary hearing to consider striking out the claims.
Decision
The tribunal struck out all claims for all three claimants under multiple grounds in Rule 38(1) of the Employment Tribunal Rules of Procedure 2024, including potential failure to comply with orders, failure to pursue claims, scandalous or vexatious conduct, no reasonable prospect of success, or that pursuit of claims was no longer possible. All claims were dismissed.
Practical note
Multiple claimants can have their claims struck out simultaneously under various procedural grounds when they fail to properly pursue their claims or comply with tribunal procedures.
