Claimant v Somerset NHS Foundation Trust
Outcome
Individual claims
The claimant withdrew the claim and the tribunal dismissed it upon withdrawal. No substantive hearing took place.
Facts
Mr M. Burns brought an employment claim against Somerset NHS Foundation Trust under case number 6017822/2024. The matter came before the tribunal on 26 September 2025. The claimant appeared in person and the respondent was represented by counsel. The judgment notes that the claimant has a separate ongoing claim under case number 6028046/2025.
Decision
The tribunal dismissed the claim upon withdrawal by the claimant. No substantive hearing took place and no reasons were given beyond the fact of withdrawal. The judgment specifically notes that the dismissal does not affect the claimant's other claim which proceeds separately.
Practical note
A claimant may withdraw claims at any stage, resulting in dismissal, and this does not prevent separate claims from proceeding independently.
