Claimant v Treasure Transport Services Limited

Struck out under rule 38(1)(a) for no reasonable prospect of success. The claim was filed approximately 18 months after termination on 23 October 2023. The tribunal found no reasonable prospect the claimant could persuade it that it was not reasonably practicable to file within the three-month primary time limit (which expired 22 January 2024) or that filing on 7 April 2025 was within a reasonable further period, particularly given the claimant had pursued personal injury litigation during the intervening period and contacted ACAS on 12 March 2025 but waited nearly four weeks to file.

Struck out under rule 38(1)(a) for no reasonable prospect of success on time limit grounds. The claimant alleged protected disclosures about bank holiday pay, RIDDOR report completion, accident book completion, and working alone. The tribunal found no reasonable prospect of establishing the claim was filed within time under section 48(3) ERA 1996, applying the same reasoning as for the unfair dismissal claim regarding the 18-month delay and lack of reasonable explanation.

Struck out under rule 38(1)(a) on two bases: (1) no reasonable prospect of success on time limit grounds (same reasoning as other claims); and (2) the 'Third Claim' seeking compensation for psychiatric injury allegedly caused by inaccuracies in the RIDDOR report and accident book was a stand-alone personal injury claim over which the Employment Tribunal has no jurisdiction. The tribunal found this claim had no reasonable prospect of success because the tribunal cannot determine stand-alone personal injury claims.
