The tribunal struck out the notice pay (wrongful dismissal) claim on the basis that it had no reasonable prospect of success following the respondent's application under Rule 38 of the Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2024.
Facts
Mr Bedasse brought claims for unfair dismissal and notice pay (wrongful dismissal) against London United Busways Limited. The respondent applied to strike out both claims under Rule 38 of the Tribunals Rules of Procedure 2024 on the basis that they had no reasonable prospect of success. The claimant appeared in person at a remote video hearing.
Decision
Employment Judge Palmer struck out both the unfair dismissal and wrongful dismissal claims, finding that they had no reasonable prospect of success. The judgment was given orally at the hearing with written reasons to be provided only if requested within 14 days.
Practical note
Claims can be struck out at an early stage if the tribunal is satisfied they have no reasonable prospect of success, preventing unmeritorious claims from proceeding to a full hearing.
